You are light and a beacon of hope and source of inspiration in everything that I do, I take so much pride in telling everyone that you are such a great mother to me and grandmother to my children and a loving mother-in-law to Paolo. I pray that we keep you in utmost comfort as you battle it out Mom. You do everything with so much dignity, you leave me completely speechless when you go through tough times yet your spirit is still so strong.

Had to take a photo of Mom when she arrived at home. She was finally able to celebrate her birthday with all her friends and contemporaries in showbiz. At 89 she is still looking mighty fine! Love her entire look and the way the new girl in her salon blow dried her hair. ♥?#mommymakeover #mommyandme #liliadizon
