Happy Mothers' Day

I love mothers day, because we get to celebrate our wonderful mothers! I am so grateful for my mom:

-put up with so much

-have sacrificed so much so that we can have oppertunities

-for never want to be in the spotlight even though they are our heros,

-for being a maid so hard to keep things clean...only to have a child mess things up in seconds,

-for being a cheuffeur in our non-driving days

- for being our tutors as they helped us with our school work,

-for being counselors by listening and giving advice,

-for being a pro chef and cooking us yummy dinners that we sometimes stuck our noses up to,

-for being cheerleaders and supporting us in all our activities,

-for being a laundry maid and keeping our clothes fresh and clean,

-for being our Kleenex's and wiping our tears away

-for being our doctors and kissing our "owies" all better

-for being an artist and teaching us to finger paint

-for being an actress while reading us our favorite stories

-for putting the "B" in the "BFF".

I am so grateful to have a mom who has done all these things and more for me, as well as having a mother in law that did all these things for my husband. I feel so blessed to have these two women in my life, they are truly inspiring and I love them immensely! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY Mom and Carolyn!
