Today is my mom's birthday and what better way to celebrate a birthday than by having a party. So I invited her closest friends to gather and celebrate her life. When I sent out the invites I asked everyone to list five things they loved about her so the night went as follows: laugh, cry, laugh, cry, laugh, cry, laugh, hug. Of course I think my mom was wonderful and amazing in every way, but it's so nice to know that other people felt the same way about her. As we sat around eating one her favorite little dishes and listening to some of the funniest stories about her, I felt so lucky to have been blessed with such an incredible mother. Family, loved ones, good friends, old friends, meaningful experiences-these are all that really matter in life. Is there anything better than having someone that positively affects your life and makes you a better person? I think not. So with that, I'd like to say thanks to Marilee, Joy, Marilyn, Karen, other Joy (even if it was just in spirit) and Carrie for making mom's birthday party one to remember.

I was there too and it was an amazing birthday party. We were only missing on person but she was there in our hearts!
It couldn't have been any nicer.
Thank you for hosting the party. Suz truly was and is an amazing person, and I feel blessed to have been considered one of her "good friends".
Sounds like a wonderful party! I would have loved to have listened in on the conversation. By the way, what was the "favorite little dish" you had? And Meg, I know Mom would echo all the sentiments you expressed towards her back in your direction as "an incredible daughter."
Meg, Mom told me about your blog, & about how much fun the party was last night. I loved Suz, she was an amazing woman! And so are you! Your blog is darling! Take care & have a Happy HOlidays!
That is such a neat idea! I knew your mom for a very short time--she was my visiting teacher when I first moved here--she was a pretty great lady. I think your a pretty amazing daughter too. I'm sure your mom thinks that also!
Megan that sounds like a great way to remember your sweet mom! I think she would be so proud of you you are one of the coolest people I know and all the good things about her live on in you!!!
I love your Mom too! I think of her often.
Love ya,
DJ
