Happy birthday, Mom O.!!! Today, on the 7th, she is 77. Last night we celebrated by having a surprise birthday party for her at Todd and Missy's house. Even Patti, Paul, and Evan were able to make it from Rochester. She was so excited to have almost everyone from the family gathered together to celebrate her birthday. She has had a very tough year with the passing of Darrell's dad and her recent diagnosis of Interstitial Lung Disease. Her own health problems have been plaguing her throughout the year, so it was great to see her having such a good time throughout the evening. She hasn't smiled that much in a very long time!! She was even one of the last ones to leave. We are so glad that we were able to get together and enjoy a wonderful meal and lots of laughs. Blessings to a special lady! We love you, Mom O.!!!
