Mom

Happy Birthday to my youthful mom:

Hard to believe she is 74; she goes to an exercise class five days a week and can run circles around me. She was just diagnosed with early stage DCIS, a very treatable form of breast cancer. And as is typical for her, she is facing it head on with her indominitable spirit. In fact, her first question was, "How soon can I go back to exercise class after the surgery?"

So proud to be her daughter.
