Yes, it is true. My mom, Jeannette, is now 70 years old. She doesn't look it or act like it, but the birth certificate says she is 70.
Emily, Julia and I flew out to Maryland to be with the family to surprise Mom for her birthday. She didn't know we were coming at all (she says she had no clue and we kept the secret well). We all hid in Jason's basement to surprise her. She thought she was coming down in the basement to look at something, but she got quite a shock as all of her grandchildren yelled "SURPRISE!"
We then enjoyed a pleasant family dinner at Jason's house and had cake and a few presents. One of the special presents was that the 4 children got together and reminisced about our mother on a DVD. It was fun to remember the funny things we have shared as a family throughout our lives.
Mom was especially glad to have a photo with all of her grandchildren. What a great group.
