My Mom......


My Mom is the greatest. Although we are really different, we are a lot alike, at least I wish we were more alike. I would love to have a lot of the qualities she has. Where do I begin....
When I think of my Mom, the first words I think of are love, service and sacrifice.

First, she is a very loving person. Loves everyone, wants to be loved by everyone, which she is cuz how can you not! She is full of happiness, love, compassion, and dedication. she will serve anyone and drop anything she might be doing, just to help someone in need. Whether it is cooking for or taking care of someone, just being a friend, listening, serving in the church, etc, the list goes on and on.

I had a friend tell me the other day, that she remembers growing up and hanging out at our house because it was so inviting, warm and loving there, and my mom was always trying to make it fun, and always had treats and games! she knows how to make things fun.

She is so strong, mentally and spiritually! Nobody stronger with a stronger testimony that I know. She has so much faith, and isnt afraid to be who she is, and has such a great personality.

Her love for kids, wow. She says shes a kid herself, and my little boy ADORES her. She has dropped everything, just to be here for him and spoils him rotten. They have a bond I cant explain. If something happened to us, in no doubt would would my mom jump to raise my kids, and they would probably turn out better with her! :)

She lives for everyone else. She really does. She has always put off having the extra money for "good things of the world" or things for herself, to be home with us kids, raise us herself. The 3 of us kids always had the nicer bedroom furniture, spoiled us rotten but not herself, just never ever thought about herself, and still doesn't. She still doesnt want a job because shes like "well how am I suppose to come and visit every week?" she would if she could. She was here a week ago, bringing down a four wheeler for me and Nick to go on a all day ride with friends, and offered to babysit just so she had an excuse to come down! I had to make her buy herself a shirt at the store that weekend, because she was spending all her money on my kids!! so incredibly unselfish!

It took me being a mom to realize the service you give and the thanks you dont usually get back. All the endless list of things moms do for 18 years and still on and on, and so giving and full of service! thank you.

Shes sooooo cute! I dont tell her enough, because I stink at that, but I love you mom, thank you for all you do, I do wish I had more of your qualities! Thank you thankyou, for being the best mom anyone could ever have!!!Only wish I could repay you! WE all love you:)

Happy Mothers Day!!
