A Tribute to My Mother









What can you say about a woman who would put her life on hold for 8 weeks to care for you and make your life as easy as possible.
A woman who will take your son outside to "drive" for the hundreth time so you can get some rest.
A woman who will give you a 4am break so you can sleep those last 2 hours of the night by yourself.
A woman who will comfort you through the nerves as your surgery approaches.
A woman who will live with you even though you have 9 month pregnancy hormones and post-pregnancy hormones (scary).
Yes, my mom is the best!!



A MOTHER'S LOVE
A Mother's love is something that no on can explain,
It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining, it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence of God's tender guiding hand.

We truly are the most blessed daughters in the world to have the mother we have. I am constantly in awe of the selfless way she provides for her family, and we can only hope to be half the mother and wife that she is. Thank you for the beautiful way you reminded her how important she is!
