She taught me how to drive a stick.
And the correct way to inhale.
She plied me with enough rum & coke that I haven't had either ever since.
And force-fed me black coffee to off-set the effects.
She's held my hair back while I up-chucked rum, coke & black coffee.
She's the reason I was late for my curfew (honestly, that's my story & I'm still sticking to it)
She fought the unfair rules for granddaughters that didn't apply to grandsons
She's raised two kids, mostly on her own
She's creative & funny
She's one of the hardest working women I know
Today she turns almost 50
But not quite
At least not this year
Happy Birthday 'cuz!
