Today is my mother’s birthday. She turns 80. I had a rather lengthy piece written for this ocassion but decided to keep that one with me for a while longer.
All I really want to say is Happy Birthday, Mom! I am who I am because of you.
And once again, thanks for the chocolate milk.
Feliz cumpleaños señora Prieto y muchos más!
Val – as a newbie to your site, I have just read today’s post and others linked to it. As I sit in my office, with cars passing outside my window and the sounds of students on the sideway, I shed tears for your beautiful portrayal of your Cuban mother. It’s a blessing that we have mothers that love us unconditionally, that teach us to be strong, and to have character. You are blessed to have your mother. And I am glad to read it.
Cuban mothers rule! 🙂
Many wishes to her for a wonderful birthday.
¡Felicidades, señora!
parabens pra voce mae prieto all the way from brasil..
Felicidades en su dia, Sra. Prieto! Y que cumpla muchos mas junto a su famila y amistades.
Le deseo bien 🙂 Melek

Happy birthday!
Val, felicidades a tu Señora Madre en su dia. Que Dios le la bendiga y cuide. Que el gran ORULA derrame toda su bendicion sobre ella. Hoy Octubre 4 es tambien Dia de Orula.
Happy Birthday, Val’s Mom! You raise one heck of an American and you should be very proud!
Birthday Wishes to Val’s wonderful Mother.
I didn’t like drinking milk, either. One day, Mommy opened a jar of Marachino cherries and plopped three of them in my glass of milk. Another true genius!!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, Sra. Prieto.
Today also is my father’s 63rd birthday.
Happy Birthday Mrs. Prieto. Have a great day!
