Today is Mothers Day. It's one of those days that I love and one of those days that brings me to tears. I love it, because I get to celebrate one of most important people in my life and I want to cry because I feel like I can NEVER express or show how much I love her.

MY MOTHER is the most amazing woman that you would have the privilege in meeting. She is a major GIVER. She has given her whole life and has never asked for anything in return.

Well, that's not totally true. I know that she asks every night, on her knees, to keep her children and their spouses and grandchildren safe. I know that she asks every night to keep us from heartache and pain. I know that she asks that if we do come across pain in our lives, that we might find a way to heal quickly. I am positive she asks her Heavenly Father to help us stay True to the Faith. I know that my mom asks every morning to keep her strong so that she might be a good example to others.

I love that my mom is so Prayerful and that she is a God fearing woman.

I love that my mom has only good intentions in her. She is never out to hurt anyone...only to do what she can to help.

I love that my mom is always trying to be better. I don't mean better than others. I mean, she is always striving to be a better daughter of God. When I am around my mom...there is calmness! There is a lot to say about that feeling you have when you're around someone like her.

When I am away from my mom (which is often) and I think about her (which is daily)....my heart swells and I get a knot in my throat. There is no way I can tell her how much I love and appreciate her. It's like there hasn't been a word created or invented that could express that specific emotion. LOVE...just doesn't cut it! I MEAN, it's a good try and valiant effort, but it's more than that. I try to think about what or how I could let her know. The only thing I can think is to be a good Daughter of God, Choose the Right, Return to our Heavenly Father with Honor. That's my lifetime Mothers Day gift. I am so homesick for my Mom!

There is another mother in my life that I have the privilege of knowing and loving. My mother in law is a wonderful, creative, generous and beautiful woman. I have been given an amazing gift to of been blessed with such an example in this part of my life. I have been raised and taught by my mother and now I am being rounded and shined by her and my Mother in law. I love that she is never pessimistic. Everything is

“the best”, everyone is “the nicest” and every place is “the most beautiful”. I feel like I have learned so much as an adult from watching her. One thing I especially love about her is that she is devoted to her family. With all of her children grown and off dealing with their own lives…I think all of us have needed her for an emergency with moving, housing, child care, a sounding board, or just some good communication. With out fail, she is there. She is an amazing mother and let me not forget…Grandmother. She loves and adores her little grandkids, and they her.
Once again…I am blessed!
