Happy 50th Momma

My mom is beautiful. She is the type of person that will help you fix all of your problems without ever mentioning any of her own. She takes such good care of her family, but not only that, of her community. She is an Ocupational Therapist and everyday helps numerous people relearn how to do everyday functions. She is constantly running into people around Chapel Hill that she has helped. The sweet and caring woman they got to know for a few hours every week is the woman I got to spend the last 25 years with. She is my best friend.

Don’t let that pretty girl fool you… she is strong! She can beat you at tennis and golf, outrun you, then hit the gym and make you feel like a sissy boy. I’ve never known anyone as selfless but at the same time takes such good care of themselves. She is always up to doing new things and rarely is missing a smile. She can salsa dance, cook a MEAN meatloaf, and her voice is as beautiful as she is. Today she turns 50, looks 30, and when instigated by me acts 10.

This is a clip from a project I’m working on where I interviewed my last two living grandparents to collect their stories. This is my moms mom.
