My mother recently celebrated a milestone birthday and I meant to do this then... But with 4 kids and a dog (see post below!) and Christmas and a virus that lasted 2 weeks, I just didn't get to it.
A lot of people say they have the greatest mom, but I would have to argue that I have the best mom in the world! My mom is so very kind and thoughtful and always sympathetic to my ramblings. I remember, even as a child, that people would tell me how special my mom was and what a very sweet woman she was!
She always calls to check in on me and my family. She offers to help out, even when she is exhausted herself. She truly loves the Lord and serves others. She genuinely loves her family and would do anything for them (and for anyone else!)
My mom is probably the hardest worker that I know. She works without complaining. Even when she comes to visit us and I can tell she is tired, she still wants to help me!
Aside from having some great character qualities, she also has some other traits that make her great! Like cooking... the BEST cook in the world! Just try her lasagna (which I have often requested), fudge, ham dinner, apple-pie, stuffed peppers, and more! No one has ever left her home hungry! And she sews and decorates her home to make it welcoming. She also is known to invite many to her gatherings, not wanting anyone to feel left out.
So, mom, thank you for who you are and for ALL that you do for me and for so many others. I hope to be like you!!!! And you, more than anyone, can probably understand just why it took me so long to post this... :0)
I love you so very much!
