The Nana’s Birthday

She reads this while at work, so won’t you help me in blessing her socks off by leaving her a comment?!

Mom,
Thank you for all that you have done for me, especially the last two months. You have cleaned my house and watched my kids, but more importantly you have stood by my side. I know it has been rough, no mom should have to watch her daughter hurt, I know that all too well. Yet you do it, selflessly.

I love you dearly mom :)

    Happy, happy birthday, dear Nana! Didn’t you just have the BEST day when you took Heather and found that beautiful wig…..and watched her tears turn to laughter? I’m so glad you had that day.

    I wish you many more days of love like that. Happy Birthday.

    Heather’s Mom The Nana,

    If I know anything for certain from reading Heather’s blog, it is that she has an incredible faith and an incredible family. I hope that when my own daughters are grown, I can be as supportive and encouraging as it is clear you are. You’ve raised an amazing daughter, and the way she lives her life and stands in faith during this unbelievable struggle is a testimony to you and to her dad. I know your momma heart must ache like no one else’s to see her have to fight cancer, and I am praying for YOU as well. Heather is blessing and witnessing to zillions of people in the cyber world here, and you have a role in that. YOU are also blessing and witnessing to zillions of people. ;) Praying you are blessed today and feel incredibly loved. Happy, Happy Birthday!

    Happy Birthday Nana from a Gramma. I am praying for you all daily from the anguish of my heart. Have a special day today

  17. Happy Birthday!!

    I haven’t been reading Heather’s blog for long, but now I know I was brought here for a reason. My sister is having a biopsy done today on a lump found deep down in her breast. It’s unlike any other lump she’s had before, and she is quite scared. She is just 34 and has three young children. I hope that however this turns out, she will find the hope and faith she needs to get through it and we, her family, can support her in all ways.

    Heather is beautiful!! She’s a great gift to us all, and to you especially!

    Happy Birthday to a wonderful Mom!! You all are truly blessed to have each other.

  20. Susan says:

    Happy Birthday, Nana! Melody is right…you are beautiful and you don’t look like you could have a teenage daughter, much less be a grandma!

    In reading Heather’s blog, I realized that you are living the Proverbs 31 woman — “Her children arise and call her blessed.”

    I’m sure your heart is breaking as you watch your beautiful daughter go through these trials… it’s more difficult to watch a loved one go through pain than it is to go through it yourself. Yet you have the strength to help Heather and her family get through this. You are amazing…I only pray that I can be as good a mom as you are.

    Have a fabulous day…pamper yourself and have fun!

  21. donna says:

    Happy Birthday to Heather’s Mom!!!!! “Nana”….as a mother myself, I each day as I read Heather’s blog, my heart rejoices with you for her strength, her faith, and the blessing she truly is to thousands of unknown bloggers…and the blessing she is to you! No doubt, the best birthday gift this year, is her ongoing recovery and the miracle of her life and testimony.

    We are celebrating with you across the nation today! God Bless you!

    My computer is slow, and it is Monday and I am still asleep, so as I was scrolling down, I saw that gorgeous head of hair and thought Heather got a new wig!! Now, I see the beauty that is the Nana.

    My sister tried to kill herself earlier this year and we got to see what resolve my mother had during such a time. In the south, we call such women as these “Steel Magnolias”. I am glad that you have your Mom and that Debi has our mother.

    May God bless you and your Mother today and every day.

  36. Happy Birthday Heather’s mom!

    I am not saying this to be nice, but you two look like sisters!
