As I was hurrying to finish up my Mother's Day shopping, and preparing of the packages to send off to both my Mother and Mother-in-law. I paused and thought to myself how fortunate and very happy I am to still have my Mother here to celebrate her and my Mother-in-law too! Both women have been a huge influence in my life, and in my being a mother. My Mom has always been there for me, my biggest fan and life long friend. I learned after having my own kids that it's not the easiest job you'll ever have, and there will be moments of wondering if you are doing it right. I know too, that my mother only ever wanted what was best for me and loved me through each and every day, and always strived to make me the best I could be. I am sure I have thanked her over the years, but there is no amount of thanks to measure, along with the love I have for her and appreciation, of her devoting her time, love, and life to being my Mom!
Thank you for the love, guidance, persistence, and discipline, the many nights of loss of sleep and the tears you shed on my behalf, through good and bad, happy and sad, and all the times in between.
Thanks Mom, You're the greatest!
I LOVE YOU!
