Ah, Mother's Day...a time when we go out shopping for that one special gift that is supposed sum up the amount of love and gratitude we have for our mothers. There is no gift that could even come close to showing how much I love my mom.
Meet my mom:
She shows me daily, by example, how to be a good mom, daughter, and granddaughter.
No, my mom isn't perfect...she is human, and humans make mistakes...BUT she is the perfect mom for me and the perfect Nanny for my kids.
Thank you mom for all that you have done to take care of me. Thank you for taking an active part in the lives of my children. You have set the bar high. I pray that I will carry on that selfless, giving, legacy to my kids and beyond.
"Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised." Proverbs 31:30
Much Love,

Meet my mom:
She is the best. She is the most selfless person I know. Not long after I was born, my parents separated and eventually got a divorce (but got back together and remarried within a year). My mom has taken care of me from day one. She made sure I was fed, clothed, bathed, and had all of the love and attention I needed. She also took me to church so I could hear how much Jesus loves me and eventually accept Him as my Savior.
Her mothering didn't stop with me and my sister though. She loves my kids well. She has always been more than willing to help out in any way she could. Now she is also taking on a new role of helping "mother" her own mom. It isn't anything full time but I know that she will do whatever she needs to do if/when that full-time care giver role is needed.She shows me daily, by example, how to be a good mom, daughter, and granddaughter.
