Mama's Day
In a “perfect” world, Mother’s Day is spent with your mom while letting her know how much you love her. I have had the privilege of doing this the last 22 years of my life. Since approximately 1000 miles separate me from my mom, this year was a little different. I’m not sure if it was the fact that I knew I was not going to get to hug her on this day, my fear that she would not feel my love for her over the phone, that I was going to miss out on the overall fellowship celebrating her at Jan’s, or that I simply miss her so much, but this year I appreciated Mother’s Day in a way that I never have before. I could not stop myself from reflecting on and realizing how truly amazing she is and the impact she has on my life. I can only hope that she felt as blessed as I did on her day. I love you Mom!

No, we don't live in a perfect world, but God does give us the strength and will to accept the things that we cannot change and make the best of them. I admit this is not always easy for me. My first thought on Sunday morning was my first born and her brother and sister. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to be a mother. There is nothing in the world more rewarding to me. I pray that you will have the chance to experience the unexplainable joy of being someones mother,(one that doesn't shed so bad) one day.
I do feel your love everyday!
We all miss you very much and we are counting the days to you all get here next week.
Thank you for making my day! I love you so much.
This was such a wonderful tribute to your Mother. She and I have had so many fun trips and experiences together. She has always been a daughter to me. She trusted us with taking care of you and until you have children and grandchildren of your own you'll never know the feeling. I love you much and I know that you will follow in her footsteps.
