March 5 has been relevant for exactly 63 years today. It's a day to celebrate a woman known to many for her infectious laughter, genuine smile, and limitless compassion - a woman I have been blessed to call "mom".
She has set an example of hard work, perseverence, faith and good works for seven children, twelve grandchildren and countless others along the way. Having endured more trials in her 63 years than most people experience in a lifetime, she has always worn a smile on her face and never blamed others for her circumstance. She has given selflessly with no expectation to receive and has sought to help others even when she was the one in need of help. Truly her life has been an example of charity:
And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things...charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him (Moroni 7:45&47).She has set an example of hard work, perseverence, faith and good works for seven children, twelve grandchildren and countless others along the way.

Thank you for your example Mom, I hope you know how much we love you and miss you. Happy birthday!
