About a week after my birthday, mom and I were working out with our personal training, aka DAD, and she told me she had one last birthday gift for me. I was surprised because I told them not to get me anything for my birthday because of the wedding, but of course, they didn't listen.
I opened the gift and was in total suprise. This is what I saw
Mom made me a cookbook with all of our family recipes. The cover is a picture of me and my brothers making christmas cookies.
Each page has a recipe from one family member with a picture of them. 
As I started looking through it mom said, "this book also includes recipes from 5 family memebers who are no longer with us" At that moment I started crying. Now folks let me tell you, I have never cried when opening a gift - even my engagement ring! So you know it was impactful. Below are recipes from my grandmother and my counsin Leah.
I will treasure this gift forever. Thank you Mom!
