To a one-in-a-million virgo-mother....

The most beautiful woman I've ever known, My Mother. 
As we all know her best....with a baby on her hip.

To a woman who I've never seen look "undone" in my entire life....even when she is.
To a woman who has no idea how calming she can be when it is called for.
To a woman that filled four childhoods with magic.
To a woman that steals the room.

.....I'm not only lucky to have her as a mother but even luckier to have her other three children as my siblings.....she did a great job.  I love her and the beautiful family she made.  (I think we have some of the best memories of anyone I know.)

To another year.
