Happy birthday to Diane Hanley - Matt's mom and (as she frequently refers to herself as of late) the Future Mother In Law of Lynne.
When Matt was a kid, he would get to school, open up his green, metal Goofy lunchbox to find cauliflower and a little note from his Mom. The note would be a wish for a good day; or just a message to say she loved him. The cauliflower was tossed; the note was treasured.Then on St. Patrick's Day she would magically turn all the milk green. (She used her powers for good, never evil.)
Seriously, who thinks of stuff like that?
Only the greatest Mom(inlaw) ever, that's who. She never thinks of herself, always of others. While that's far too often underappreciated, it's never unnoticed.

Currently, Mom(inlaw) has been a great help in getting all the wedding planning done. You can be sure she's looking forward to seeing (or meeting everyone. Matt's told her enough stories about all of you. (Let's see if she can figure which ones are true.)
Happy Birthday Mom(inlaw)! We love you very much and can't wait to see you.
p.s. So, how old is Mom(inlaw)? Well, let's see. Last week, Grandma's birthday was somewhere between her 22nd and 29th... which makes Mom(inlaw) somewhere between 3 and 10...which means Matt hasn't been born yet. Hmm. Math never was Matt's strongpoint.
p.p.s. Drop her a Happy Birthday at diane underscore hanley at hotmail dot com!
