HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

My mom reads my blog, so this is for her...

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MOM!

** Thanks for healing my wounds and keeping my face clean with your powerful antibacterial spit. (my mom could lick a thumb and have it swiped over my dirty face in a flash.. and Neopsorin didn't have shit on mom spit!)

** Thanks for always having cookies and cakes and other mouthwatering delights on the kitchen counter everyday after school. Betty Crocker only wished she could bake as good as my mom! (BTW... the producers of "The Biggest Loser" want to talk to you.)

** Thanks for making our home a clean and loving safe place. (I'm just sorry we never wanted to stay home in it... but thanks just the same!)

** Thanks for being my chauffeur, but... that's one job I was glad to relieve you of. (keys... please!)

**Thanks for coming to Orlando to watch me graduate from Boot Camp. (I will never forget that!)

** Thanks for loving my husband like he was one of your own. (And yes mom... even after all these years, he's still my big teddy bear!)

** Thanks for being there with me... emotionally and spiritually when I was trying so hard to become a mom myself. (We sure tried... didn't we?)

** Thanks for all the other sacrifices and heartaches I know you suffered over the years for me. I know there were many, even though you would never admit it.

But most of all...

** Thanks for being my friend! (something not all mother's and daughter's can boast about, but I'm very proud that we can!)

I wish we could laugh over lunch and go shopping at Kirkland's. (I'll never forget finding your bear!) I wish we could play our version of "Name That Tune" again using You Tube. I wish I could sit on your steps with you and talk while you take your "break".

I wish I could be with you today... so I can remind you of all the reasons why your so special to me. I know you'll understand, but that's just another fine example of your unconditional love I relish in.

I love you Mom... Thanks for everything!!

Your favorite daughter...

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

"All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother."
- quote Abraham Lincoln

Today is a day to honor our mother's. I know for some of us, this day will be bittersweet. I'm very blessed to still have my Mom, and even though I don't live near her, I can pick up the phone and know she is on the other end.

My heart is heavy for all of those having their first Mother's Day without their loved one.

Today I'm thinking of all the children (young and old) who lost their Moms... remember the good things she did for you and do them for your children.

Today I'm thinking of all the Mom's who lost a child... remember the love and adoration that child gave you, and it will help you through your darker days ahead.

Today I'm thinking of all the single Moms... your children see your strength.

Today I'm thinking of all the Men who had to step up when they became the "Mom" as well as the Dad... your children will learn balance and diversity.

Today I'm thinking of all the women out there who would have made great Moms but couldn't... I feel your lonesomeness.

Today I'm thinking of all the Mom's out there... your wonderful! Thanks for all you do for us!

Happy Mother's Day!!
