Happy Mother's Day to all Mom's, but especially to my mom. It's kind of sad to be far away from your mother on mother's day. I don't feel like I can make her day very special. So, I thought the next best thing would be to do a post about my mom.I am SO grateful to have a wonderful mother. I don't know what I would do without her. I am so grateful that my mom was able to stay home with her children and teach us and guide us. I know that being a mom is the hardest job in the world. I admire all moms, young and old, for the hard work that they do. It is such valuable work and it makes the BIGGEST difference in the lives of their children.
My mom likes to pretend she thinks that she is stupid, but she is so smart and wise and she has taught me oh so very much. My mom has done so much for me in my 25 years. How can you possibly show your full gratitude to someone who carried you inside their body for nine months, potty trained you, played with you, put up with you and laughed and loved with you. I don't think that mother's get enough praise and recognition for all their hard work. I would like to thank my mother for all of her hard work. For EVERYTHING she has or ever will do for me. I am eternally and overwhelmingly grateful.

Geez Holly, you're making me cry! That was really sweet. I'm sure your mom really loved it!!
Okay she did make you some pretty great 4 course breakfasts-- I remember! And good thing she helped you with sewing because remember the time you layed your pants on the floor as a pattern and cut around them and sewed them-- you are so funny and your mom is awesome! She is a second mom to me for sure!
