Celebrating my mom's birthday with the mariachis

Yesterday my family and I celebrated my Mom's 80th birthday. What a blast we had. My family tends to get all emotional during such occasions and this time was no different.

But my Mom has a great attitude. As she is wiping her tears of joy, she goes on singing and dancing to the beat of the mariachis music. She takes the negative events in life with the same attitude, wiping her tears and moving on singing and dancing as much as possible.

During our celebration I was thinking just how much longer she will be with us in this Earth. She is in very good health for her age and I am grateful for that. But I know that one day she will be gone and I will sure miss her for the rest of my life until we meet again as I'm sure we will.

I try not to take her for granted but I must admit that I do sometimes, and yesterday I realized that every day she is with us is a blessing. I will do my best not to take her for granted anymore.

God bless my Mom and all the other mothers out there that would give all they have, including their lives for their children.

I hope that you enjoy this video of Celebration of Life!
