Today is Hazeline's birthday and I would like for you to help celebrate her life and accomplishments. It is extremely easy at times to be a member of her family. She takes care and watches over so many people that it seems like she is always in motion. She makes it appear easy to juggle so many commitments and always seems willing to take on another one. As her children have grown up, her role has changed and sometimes I am amazed at how funny she can be, that she is able to actually sit down and take the time to read a book or watch a movie. She is usually up for a spur of the moment trip that Dad would like to take- granted the departure time may be delayed. She has discovered lattes at McDonalds, how to navigate an iphone and contribute to this blog. If you have a medical issue or need information, she becomes an avid researcher, seeking information that may help you. Her hamburgers are the best I have ever eaten. She has bonded with her dog- Rosie so much that she thinks the dog understands all the conversations they have in the kitchen. She still irons anything that comes out of the dryer. Saturday will always be clean the house day, it does not matter if it was cleaned the day before- that is the way she was raised. She cooks for all of us each Sunday, never knowing who will show up for lunch but wanting to be prepared
As our family as grown older, our roles have changed but she will always be the glue that holds us together. Our family is lucky that we are able to celebrate this day with her and I just want her to know that I love and treasure her.
Happy Birthday Mom
Hope it was a wonderful day Hazeline. You deserve it. Thanks for being so willing to take care of the family. Next to your mom, I think Charlie thought you were the best cook of all of them. Your visits to see Charlie were so appreciated. Love you, Alice
