Happy 39th Birthday, Mom

My mom -- Let's see -- How old would she be... She'd be 39 again, I guess Though to you I confess She's been 39 more times Than any clock's every chimed

Haha! I've not only stopped counting -- I'm going in reverse now. Soon I'll be back in my forties! LOL. :) gw

Perpetually 29 is what we used to say; 39 sounded old to us in the "good ole' days". Nice one.

Really? My Mom, who passed on 8 years ago, never mentioned 29! How about that? :) gw

Mom's are ageless. Lovely birthday message to your mom. Hugs to both.

Moms sure are ageless, although mine just turned negative eight... Here's to good health, Cecilia! :) Gershon
