Today is my mom’s birthday… Yesterday, my sister brought her over for lunch and an afternoon in the sun. Here she is with her cake / candles. We opted for fire safety and didn’t use 95… (LoL) | |

Maybe Faith Is Based On Hope

Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out. | |
— Václev Havel | |
[Happy Birthday, Mom! | |
You raised me with optimism, hope and faith… Love, Kevin] | |

[When my mom comes over to “visit”, after saying hello to everyone, she sits in the Lazy-Boy, pulls a blanket over her lap and lets the TV watch her sleep until she’s ready to go home. She particularly enjoys sports and news. Still, she loves visiting us (at 93). Happy Birthday, Mom!! | |
We love you! — KMAB] | |

Her Job, Too

I grew up with divorced parents, back in the day when 90% of marriages / parents stayed together. My mom raised my sister, brother and me all on her own. It was difficult. We were a handful. I appreciate it more every year (particularly now that my own three are full grown). The song / video below is about a dad who looks after his son. When I hear it, though, I hear a song about a parent / provider who looks after his (or her) children. Happy 92nd Birthday, mom. Thanks for being my role model. | |
Love, | |
Kevin | |

My father once told me that respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality. “Something cannot emerge from nothing,” he said. This is profound thinking if you understand how unstable the truth can be. | |
