Happy Birthday, Mom!

Today is my Mom's birthday!
Happy Birthday, Mom!

I'm immediately thinking of a story right now.  In high school, I used to play volleyball against the garage all the time.  I was never a strong overhand server so I would practice that specifically.  One time I served and the ball went right to the glass in the garage door, shattering it.  I was so worried how much trouble I would be in.  I went in to tell Mom and she just said, "Ok, go clean up the glass.  Then we'll get the window replaced."  

Yes, I was instructed to be more careful when playing against the garage in the future and I knew if I ever broke another window, there would be trouble, but she just handled my accident so calmly and didn't make me feel terrible.  I'm grateful for that.
