I'm the luckiest guy in town to have a mom who is a testament of strength, faith and determination despite her own health problems.

I can't imagine the physical challenges she faces each day just to get out of bed as she lives with MS.

I'm a lucky man for having a mom who has supported my creativity. It's not easy having a creative in any family, and I certainly fall in line with the creatives who have come before me and I'm certain the ones who will come in the decades ahead.

I'm a lucky man for having a mom who read to me every night when I was a kid. I'm a lucky man for having a copy editor for a mom. I'm a lucky man for having a mom who listened to all of my hopes and dreams for my life.

And I truly am the luckiest man for having this woman in my life. So happy 66th birthday, Mom. You've been a constant source of light in my life.
