Wow! It is hard to believe that the world has been blessed with your beautiful spirit for so long. I also can’t believe that we have known each other for half that time! I think if I was ever granted a wish it would be to go back in time and see you before me. To, see you as a child, and teenager. I imagine that you were probably like a feather floating and fluttering through life stopping only long enough to let people admire your beauty and grace. You are the most amazing woman I have ever met, and although you’re a bit spastic. I am enjoying seeing myself turn into you more and more. Thank you for being my mom, and thank you even more for just being you. I had a plan to post a blog about how much you mean to me, but then I found an old blog that honestly says everything, so I am just reposting it. I love you mama, and can’t wait to see what the next 50 years hold. Ummm oh lord I just got a visual of the next fifty. Menopause for you and me!!! Allie’s teen years… Oh lord Isabelle and Ava’s teen years. You possibly turning into nana. Me definitely turning into you. Loss of memory, loss of sanity, loss of gravity for body parts that we now hold dear. Did I mention loss of sanity. Watch out world here we come. Well I am going to go pray for Allen and Matt now! Happy fiftieth birthday I love you.
My mom and I have been through alot together in our twenty five years together. We have been at the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows. We have pushed each other to the limit, and picked each other up. we have fought, and cried. We have laughed and screamed. She has saved me, and I believed that every now and then I have saved her. I love her more and more everyday, and find that I am becoming more and more like her. I don't tell her enough, but she is my rock. she always has been. I imagine she always will be. She is my mama. The best one I ever had. The reasons I love her are neverending, but here are a few things that make me love her.
When I was very small I was often very afraid of everything. She was always patient, and never kicked me out of her bed whenI would sneak into it. She is strong as nails. She often went hungry in the mornings, so that I could eat. She never intentionally talked badly about my father in front of me. She is really quirky, and makes me laugh. She tells it how it is, and doesn't back down. She always make the holidays so much fun, Even though she can get a bit carried away, especially at the holidays. Like the year we had 11 trees and a wreath as big as the house. DON'T ASK. She has a heart as big as the sky, and would give anyone the shirt off of her back. She has boiled water on the stove to give me a hot bath. She has come to my defense when I was to little or weak to defend myself, and has loved me despite of all the pain I have probably caused her. She loves the lord with such ease, and grace. She is my mama, and the most incredible woman I know,
Thank you mom,
I love you 10,000,000 times around the world and back again.
Love your girl!
