Today is Your Birthday
When it comes to birthday celebrations, we celebrate with gusto even though the birthday celebrant is absent in body, however, we know the spirit is there.
Yesterday, we celebrated Mother’s birthday but today is her official birthday. Weekday is hard to get together due to school and work. Should Mother still be alive, it will be her 93rd year.
The most wonderful birthday celebration we did for Mother was when we gave her a surprise one. We rented the church hall and invited her siblings and their children, family friends and anybody who knows Mother. Mother has a big circle of friends and the hall was full. To keep this as a big secret was a challenge but we succeeded. Or maybe, Mother was just playing along so that we don’t get disappointed. Well, it doesn’t matter, it was fun.
What I remembered the most was this part. The grandchildren all came out bearing a rose to present to Mother. Mother loves roses. There must have been 14 little feet marching towards Mother. It was delight to see how happy Mother seeing her precious grandchildren with a rose on hand. Good times, good times. I treasure this memory.
Apparently, we gave Mother a trophy. This part, slipped away from my memory. Thanks to my niece, Nicole who remembers it and she has the trophy. Ta-dah, here is Mother’s Trophy. She celebrated her 70th year.
Mother, wherever you are, we thank you for the gift of life and we love you. From your children and grandchildren.
As for the birthday song, I play this for everybody. Happy Birthday, Mother.
so nice- she is smiling and celebrating right now

Excellent post, and a great tribute to Mother’s love and her most precious gift of life. My Best Wishes for a Happy Birthday!
As you may know, today the world is also celebrating Earth Day – which is in a way our respectful tribute to Mother Earth. It’s a good coincidence. Have a great day, Seeker.
Mr. Deo, I didn’t even know today is Mother Earth’s Day. That’s great to know. It’s even better. Thanks.
Loved the tribute and the present. Ok, let’s dance 🙂
See my hips and hands up in the air swing hands up /… she loves me yay, yay, yay. Thanks for coming to the party.
What a great post and wonderful party. Such a happy memory and how nice you shared with us. 🙂
Thanks for coming to party and celebrating Mother’s bday. Mr. Deo just notified me today is Mother Earth’s Day, another celebration. \o/ yay.

What a great celebration for mother. A true honor to enjoy. As for me..birthdays aren’t what they are cracked up to me. I prefer spending the day with Remy and go for a gallop.
That is great way to spend time with your lovely horse. With family, no escaping.
Beautiful seeker, I’m dancing too. 😉
I can feel that earth move, Ms. D. Thank you.
Lovely tribute to your mom. I always buy flowers for my mother’s birthday. Pretty spring bouquets. She would have been 96 this year.
Flowers are wonderful anytime for our Mothers. Our Mothers are so close in age. Thank you.
All mothers deserve a trophy 😉
Good memories Perpetua 🙂
Since you are a Mother as well, you deserve one, too. Thanks, ghia.
