What a blessing it is being a mother to 3 absolutely precious, beautiful and healthy children! I truly love being a mommy and have never experienced so much joy from anything else. My Mother's Day came on the heels of a very busy week finishing Rachel's homeschool group for the year and celebrating and getting ready for her 7th birthday party. After church, we picked up Barberito's (per my request) came home and RESTED! It was fabulous!! I took a long nap and just enjoyed being at home. I have a wonderful, thoughtful husband who acknowledges my "motherly" skills many days out of the year, and the rest on this day was just what I wanted and needed!
This day does make me remember to be thankful for my precious mom, who has taught me so many wonderful things. I have tried to model my own mom skills from her fabulous example. Her constant love and unselfish giving of her time and energy throughout all of my life was so sweet and such a beautiful picture of motherhood. Mom, thank you for being my precious, loving mother and for loving me and setting such an awesome example all the time. I love you so very much!!

Angie, I could have written your opening statement verbatim. It is what followed (and was so sweetly expressed) that is very humbling.
Motherhood has been the greatest joy, honor and priveledge in my life. So much so, that it was difficult to bid that time (when you were all young) farewell. It was made much easier, though, when you blessed us with 3 beautiful & sweeet grandchildren. Now I tell everyone who asks about my family that I have 3 terriffic children and 8 little bonus(es)!!And the greatest joy is seeing what a nurturing, loving, protective mother that YOU are!! Happy Mother's Day, sweet daughter.Love,Mom
