My Mom

In honor of Mother's Day I thought I would take the time and reflect on my my mom.

I think the older you get the more you appreciate your parents, especially your mom. After having 2 going on 3 kids myself I have no idea how my mom did what she did when it came to raising us. The house was always clean and she got up early. My house is a wreck 90% of the time and I don't get up before them. I try but I am always exhausted.

My mom and I have had a few rough patches together but thankfully we are closer now than I think we have ever been. I miss living close to her. I am thankful for text messaging and cell phones because we are able to communicate that way. At college I called her a lot and emailed her. Now I text. We also have a web cam which has been a huge blessing for us all. The kids can see her and my dad and love talking to them. In fact if it is not them they are talking to but somebody else they get a little confused and do not want to talk.

She is a wonderful Grandma. She is always sending them things and when she visits she spoils them rotten. I am thankful they have her for a Grandma. All in all I love my mom so much and am so thankful for her! I wish we lived closer and could see her more. She is an amazing woman and has accompolished a lot in her life. I am glad she is able to do the traveling she does now with my dad and also work towards having their dream home. They deserve it! They have worked hard and I am so thankful for that! Happy Mother's Day Mom! We love you and MISS YOU!!
