Happy Birthday Nanay Eliz

Today is the 69th birthday of my Nanay.

I googled July 2 birthdays and their horoscopes. It is interesting to note that the supposed characteristics of Cancer people are actually exhibited by Nanay. Consider this:

"Although July 2 natives are not likely to have a large circle of friends, those who are close to them are of paramount importance. In romance, they are never happy being involved in superficial relationships. They must be assured of a commitment, or they can never give their whole heart." - Nanay has always been a loving wife to my father, no matter what.

"July 2 individuals have strong ties to their families and may even count family members among their closest friends. They make good, but anxious, parents. They are never quite confident of their own abilities as parents and may often err on the side of caution." - Nanay is the best mother to our brood of 9.

"Because July 2 individuals tend to have a good sense of humor, they are unlikely to manifest the same problems with weight and diet that other Cancer natives may have. If they have a sedentary job, these individuals may need to get involved in a serious exercise program." - Right on again.

Other July 2 celebrants are Michelle Branch, Lindsay Lohan, Ashley Tisdale, Imelda Marcos. I bet they are or will be good mothers and they have great mothers, too, like the sources of the quotes below, but I am sure my siblings and I have the best.
A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie. ~Tenneva Jordan

A father may turn his back on his child, brothers and sisters may become inveterate enemies, husbands may desert their wives, wives their husbands.  But a mother's love endures through all.  ~Washington Irving

A man's work is from sun to sun, but a mother's work is never done.  ~Author Unknown

God could not be everywhere, so he created mothers.  ~Jewish Proverb

A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest.  ~Irish Proverb

Happy birthday, Nanay! We love you.
