April 30th -- what a wonderful day. The day my dear mom was born! My Grandma Alma tells the sweet story of having her first baby, my mom Karen Ann on April 30th in Seattle, WA. A healthy blue eyed darling girl. Then on May 1st, MAY DAY, baskets were brought to the new mothers in the labor and delivery. My grandma speaks of that unbelievable joy of holding her first baby and thanking God for the miracle of life. My grandma was born to be a mother and she taught my mom so well, my mom's favorite job was raising her kids.My mom was raised in Lynden, WA and was the oldest of five children. My mom always had a smile on her face and truly called Lynden home, with so many friends and so much family there. My mom raised five children -- I am the oldest. I have two wonderful sisters and two witty brothers!
Our mom's love for Jesus was evident. Her patience and kindness radiated.
If my mom were alive today, she would be 54.
God bless you mom! I can imagine you enjoying the gardens of heaven -- on this special day, your birthday.
