And from all of Margaret's children, we want to send our wonderful mother special birthday blessings. She turns 92 on Wednesday, October 5th. Hemingway once wrote: "The world breaks everyone, and afterward many are strong at the broken places." Mother, you have had many broken places, but you have always been strong and held our family together. Thank you for creating order in our house despite the disorder that you tried to shield us from. You taught us to love God, love each other, and to love others. Mom, we are planning on you being with us to celebrate many, many more birthdays. We love you!! Thank you for always being there for us.
