Happy Birthday to My Mother Helen
Posted By Kathleen David on March 5, 2023
Today is my mother’s birthday.
She is an amazing woman who, along with my dad, has been my rock through difficult times.
My mother taught me a lot by example. She is polite to everyone not just the people who can help her.
She taught a lot of people how to be a nurse and how to teach nursing to others. I am sure there are now students of hers working with the next generation of nurses. Her work added to the education of nurses and her techniques are still being taught.
I am very proud of my mother and her accomplishments.
She is a Master Gardener and knows a lot about plants from identifying to curing plant ailments to getting rid of pests to what grows where. She oversees the gardens where she lives. She also has a garden patch in a community garden where she continues to grow vegetables which she has been doing her entire life. Her herb garden is out on her patio. She has a green thumb.
Her cookies are famous in certain circles. Her Christmas cookies are the stuff of legend. I can’t tell you how many times her chocolate chip cookies gave me comfort.
My mother expanded our pallets with her cooking. She makes wonderful food and she can make eggs benedict under very trying conditions.
I love her for making me the person I am today. She is/was on speed dial after I had Caroline and when I have a medical question or a cooking question or a life question.
She has held me when I cried and cheers me on when I go for something.
She does this for all four of her children and three grandchildren.
She is my mother and I love her.
Happy Birthday Mom!
Love
Your daughter
Kathleen
