Here’s to You Mom

I was pondering on moms this last weekend, which I’m guessing is no suprise.  I got to thinking how grateful I am for mine.  I know I spent several years(ok, maybe more than several) of my childhood specifically trying to push buttons to see if I could get her to lose her cool, but it never really happened…at least that I could tell.  Mom, I offer my sincerest appologies for being such a STINKER!

Mom, thanks for:

Teaching me to read

Letting me build forts in the backyard

Sewing me fun dresses and costumes

Buying and sharing lemonade and popcicles by the 100s with all of my friends

Making me breakfast everyday that I was under your roof

Making me stay in piano lessons long after the stars in my eyes faded

Driving me everywhere I needed to go

Coming to performances

Consoling me everytime I thought my world was coming to an end

Giving me a hug when I crashed the car instead of yelling about how irresponsible I had been

Editing papers at midnight the night before they were due

Pushing me to try harder and expecting me to be better

Finding the gospel so I could grow up in a strong home

Sealing our family with Dad so we could be forever

Thank you for leading me, guiding me and walking beside me.

Thanks you for teaching me all that I must do to live with Him someday!

I love you, Mom!!
