My mom is the most busy 83-year old woman I know. You can hardly find her at home because she is always either at a luncheon with her friends, or at a lecture at the university or at a computer class learning how to use a digital camera and downloading pictures to her laptop.
Even though I haven't seen my mom since 2007, I Skype with her every Saturday morning to catch up with each other and mainly with her news because it seems that at 83 her life is much more exciting and interesting than mine.
My mom has the best sense of humor. She can say the funniest things that make you just crack up. I hope I have inherited some of her sense of humor.
When we were growing up, my mom always worked. She was a pharmacist and because of that, she was a vitamin pusher at home. My sister and I were never sick when we were little and hardly at all even now. I think we have our mom to thank, although I hated swallowing those vitamins every morning.
When I was growing up, my mom always put her needs aside and my sister and I always got the latest and greatest. If you look into my mom's closet, she still has a suit in there that she wore before my sister was born, with my mom swearing that "one of these days, I will fit into that suit". My dad used to say that he could wrap his fingers around my mom's waist and touch them on the other side. That's how tiny my mom was. HOW COME I DIDN'T INHERIT THAT??
My mom is the most wonderful and beautiful person and I love her so much. Kiitos Äiti kaikesta!
Rakkaudella,
tyttäresi Marja
My mom in 2007 at my nanny's house.
She can shoot too.
and fish.
And all we got was 4 crappy fish.
My mom, me and my sister Riitta
Can you say "TWINS". I hope I will be as beautiful as she is at her age.

I hope I am writing this correctly.
Onnittelut äidillesi hänen syntymäpäivänsä 83 ja ottaa tytär kuin sinä Marja
Onnea myös täältä äidillesi hänen syntymäpäivänään! Äitisi on toden totta ihana, hän otti minutkin aina vastaan kuin perheenjäsenen, vaikka vietin niin paljon aikaa teillä kouluvuosina...
Like mother, like daughter :)
Ihanaa joulunaikaa teille kaikille,
toivottaa rakkaudella toinen Jyväskylän tyttö, Anne :)
Hey! No fair! I can't read in Finnish! Can Alex? He is so smart. He probably can. Your mother is beautiful. She passed her beauty to her daughter. I looked at your Christmas card and was envious of your beauty. WOW!
She is a lovely woman! I loved reading about her. What a blessing she is!
