My mom is celebrating her 69th birthday today. (Yes, she was a very young mom)
How well is my mom still doing these days? For her birthday, we got her a 5-wood. Next month, she's going skiing again.
I don't write about mom very often (and I explain why here if you're interested), and she's not exactly thrilled with my career choices over the past decade or so (she never ever reads anything I write), but between you and me, I couldn't do this whole stay-at-home dad thing without her help.
Mom is the most reliable person I know. That's the ultimate German compliment.
