Speaking with relatives about family history, I am often told to keep this piece of information between you, me and the gate post. Respecting sensibilities, I will share my family stories entwine with historical events from Copiah, Jefferson and Lincoln Counties, Mississippi, from gate post to gate post.

Happy 79th, Mama
Alzheimer's disease continues its destructive path.
Although you don't remember me, I remember you.
You are loved, precious Mama.
Happy 79th birthday.

Happy belated birthday to your mom, Linda. May she have many more birthdays to share with you. And may God continue to stand by you as you care for her.
What a lovely birthday tribute to your mother. It's so hard as our parents age. It's wonderful that you are able to remember your mother as she once was--and at the same time appreciate her both then and now.
