HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM ...

Today is my mum's birthday ... she is only 58 years old.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR MUM
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

I think she is about 9 or 10 in the above photo.

My mum is the most wonderful person. Her and dad are still very young ... they go dancing every 2nd Saturday (and not old people dancing ... they get in there and do some pretty awesome rock and roll !!).

Mum and her family migrated to Australia from Germany in 1958 ... she was 10. Dad and his family followed the next year. They have known each other since she was 8 ... isn't that gorgeous !!

Here is a photo of mum and dad on their wedding day ...


I dearly love my parents, and am very lucky to have them. I don't know what I would ever do without them. They mean the world to me. We are on the phone to each other, every other day. We email each other regularly. We have dinner together every Wednesday night. And catch up as often as possible. We are very close. They love being grandparents.

So, to my mum on her very special day ...

Happy Birthday Mum
I love you heaps.

Have a great day, everyone.

Take care,

MEOW

Happy Birthday to your Mommy!!! I mean, Mum.

My parents are young too. I am 42 and my mom is 60, and my dad is 62. I feel blessed to have them.
We are also very close. It is the greatest gift we can give our kids, to love them dearly all their life, and give them a secure home in which to grow up.

I hope you spoil your mother today!!

Thanks, Jamie. My parents were over for dinner last night, and tonight we are all going out for dinner at a restaurant. I am about to head out shopping, to buy her something nice ... always a hard job, as she has everything.
Hope you have a great day, take care, Meow

Happy Momday!

Completely true...mothers are like fine collectibles - as the years go by they increase in value.

Now that you're a mother, you at least know where you're heading to.

Happy Birthday to your dearly beloved mum.

Hugs!!!

A very happy birthday to your great mom. Very pretty picture. Her looks at 8 and her wedding picture hasn't changed much. Still as cute as ever only more matured of course. Happy Birthday to your mom again.

Dick said...

I am in your parent's generation although I was older when our kids were born. I was 23 when I met Annie. We continue to love our children through the years but it is necessary to turn them loose to be their own persons. It is great when they choose to remain close to their parents, as you are doing.

Meow (aka Connie) said...

Dick ... I totally agree with what you said. It is so true. Thank you.

True Blue Guy ... Thank you. Yes, parents are the best things, they help make us who we are. And yes, they are the perfect couple.

Have a great day, take care, Meow

Take care, Meow

about the same age as my mum.

Happy birthday, Meow's Mum!

hey - maybe she's not so irrational for putting the grandkid pressue on, after all!

Happy Birthday to your mum Meow and what a lovely post that was. I don't live near my parents anymore but we also email and talk everyday. It always makes me sad to read of people that have conflict with their parents and don't keep in touch anymore.

Hope your mum had a great day :).

Clare

Meow (aka Connie) said...

Justine ... thank you. I think she had a great day ... we went out to dinner last night, which was lovely.

Lois ... I agree, thank you. There's nothing warmer than a mother's love.

Clare ... thank you. It must be really difficult to be in conflict with one's parents ... can't imagine never talking to them again, for whatever reason.

Thank you everyone for your wonderful birthday wishes for my mum. She read most of them last night, and I said for her to read again this morning, in case there was anything new. She said I was naughty, as it all made her cry (she cries easily !!!). She loved all the lovely things that were said. Thank you.

Have a great day, take care, Meow

Devil Mood said...

Oh, it's here..the wedding photo. How cute and she had a beautiful face as a girl. Happy birthday again!

Meow (aka Connie) said...

Devil Mood ... glad you found the photo !!! I think she still looks just the same now as she did as a child ... a little bit more mature perhaps, only just as pretty. Have a great day, take care, Meow

Happy (belated) birthday to your Mum! My own mother may or may not be the same age quite soon (I suspect she would like me to neither confirm nor deny this!)
