🧁 🎉 🎈 🎁 🥳
It’s November 7th, 2020, and it’s been quite a strange year. Nevertheless, it’s time to celebrate! I appreciate all the Sunday Skype sessions, but I hope you can soon visit in-person (or that we can shortly come to the U.S). You’ve talked about writing poetry and that journaling is one of your outlets, so I thought I’d make you a new little home! It has all the old blog posts I could find from your Blogger sites: Wear It Out Sister, Celebrate With Food, and My Jubilee Year. If I missed any, let me know. 🙂
I wanted to make it a little extra special, so I contacted as much family as possible and asked them to share a little something. Without further ado, happy birthday!

I love you and I’m excited to see you soon and happy birthday!

Happy Birthday Mom!
I am so grateful for you and for all that you do. Talking to you regularly is one of the highlights of my life, and everyone I tell about it is so impressed with the support and love that you give. You’ve made this year just that much better and that much easier, and I am so glad that we are able to talk and connect and share our lives with each other. The world is a much less lonely place because of you.
I hope you have a truly excellent birthday and, more importantly, that you have a truly excellent year. If anyone can find a way to live their best life these days, it’ll be you!
Love,
Caleb
Happy birthday to the best mother in law I could ever ask for! You are a wonderful person, and I am so delighted to be a part of your family and so grateful we have such a loving relationship. I very much admire how healthy, non-judgemental, and patient you are (plus you always give good advice). I hope you have a beautiful day filled with love and family!
Love you ❤️
