Happy 80th Mom!

Mom’s 73rd Birthday in 2011

Eighty years ago in a small town of Seymour, Australia, my mom – Dawn Olive McCullough – was born. It is hard to fathom everything that mom lived through in the time that since she was born. She celebrated seventy-nine of her birthdays on this earth, including her seventy-third (73rd) with Chris and I and friends in 2011. That was the first birthday I had celebrated with her in nearly twenty years. It was also the last birthday I celebrated with her. This year, we celebrate her birthday without her being physically here, but fondly remembering her in spirit and with love.

Celebrating over the years, here are some pictures from our time with mom.

Happy birthday Mom. I love you. Always will.
