Happy Birthday Dorothy.  91 Today!!!  I am taken back to 11 years ago when we were all together to celebrate #80.  I still have the image of mom looking out into her backyard on Ontario Street and watching all of her grandchildren and great grandchildren talking, laughing and playing and running around the yard.  That made her birthday so very special.  Presents or other material items where nice to her however seeing her family together was most important and the best of all presents.  She enjoyed the fact that so many took time from their lives to travel to be there just for her.  That made her feel like a Princess.  Although we all knew she was not a Princess, she was and is our Queen. 

 

We sing Happy Birthday to you still today mom and know that candles were lit today for your birthday however not on a cake, instead in front of the Bless Virgin in church.

 

Happy Birthday mom and thank you for all of the memories and all of your love.
