What Did You Accomplish in Your First Fifty Years?

What do you get the mother who wants nothing more than her boys to be happy and healthy for her 50th birthday? Honestly she started to cry when she saw the pictures. She has three amazing sons. The oldest is just 21 and the youngest 16. The middle son at 19. All are outstanding. They are each happy; all healthy. She asked for a portrait of that which is most precious to her—her babies.

She is loved and truly respect by everyone that knows her. She is the best at taking care of her family, and loving her boys. She has two Shelties, both male. I say she is drowning in testosterone but they all have a hard time keeping up with her. She is dynamic and charismatic, a healer with a heart bigger than the great outdoors she adores.

We ask ourselves what we have accomplished when we turn 50. It is a wonderous age, but can be a difficult time of introspection. And if you can look at your children and see how magnificent they are and how much they really do love you, this can be a very gratifying. These boys are magnificent works of maternal art.

Happy Birthday dear friend.
