Happy Mother's Day

I never thought the day would come when I realize that My Mom is the best Mom EVER!  I know that everyone says that, but I really mean it.  She  makes life wonderful.  She sacrificed so may things so that I would not go without.  She gave up a lot so that I could go to Catholic School.  She taught me everything I know.  She makes me laugh sometimes and I love that I can do it to her by saying things that she would always say to me.  I mean we have reversed roles since I've grown up. Granted I'm a worry wart just like her and I "can't" throw things away because well, ask her.  I find myself doing things the way she does.  I'm turning into her, it's scary, but amazing.  I love knowing that I can turn to her no matter what.

I turn to her first, it's because she will never let me down, I know that.  She has never let me down before.  I know that she would give her life for me as I would for her.  Today is more than Mother's Day.  There really aren't the words to describe.  Well there are, but I don't know if could adequately describe what she is to me.

I appreciate so much more because of how she raised me.  I worry too much because I'm just like her.  I'm loving, compassionate and hopeful too because of her.  I am so thankful that she is my mother.  I hope I can be like her when I am older and I hope my children will understand my reasons for decisions and realize, as I do now, that "Mom knows best."

I love you Mom.

There is no one more committed to her  honoring God and teaching me to be thankful for everything.  She has always taught me to ask God for the things I want, but also trust that He will make things happen for me.
