Yesterday, my mom – Patsy – turned 80.

Patsy is such a bright light. Independent. Energetic. Loving.

It's hard to believe we have been near neighbors in Cambridge, MA for over 20 years now.

I love that Patsy never complains about anything. I think that might be the best life lesson I have learned from her.

Patsy has been driving to Florida each winter for years now – road warrior! This season she stayed in Cambridge because of the pandemic.

I am the third of Patsy's four children. Lucky us to have such a great mom. Love you!
