Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is right around the corner so I thought it would be a good time to send a shout out to my Mama. I think I have the most awesome mom ever. She’s made so many sacrifices for her kids and as I’ve gotten older I’ve come to appreciate all that she did (and does) for us. As she went through her back surgeries I saw her time and again limp in the door after work in order to help provide for our family. She worked until her body just couldn’t handle it anymore. I love that she lives nearby now because with everything I’ve gone through with Brinley I’ve needed her for emotional strength (and for the free babysitting). I always had a hard time saying goodbye to my parents when they lived in South Carolina because I knew it’d be a long time before I saw them again. Having my own child has helped me to see how much my mama really loves us. I know she loves being a mother although I’m sure there were times we made her want to run away. What makes her so fun is her sense of humor. Everyone of my friends that has met her thinks she is hilarious! I’ll never forget as a teenager my mom singing along with a popular hip hop song on the radio just to get a laugh out of us. By far the most admirable thing about my mama is her spiritual strength. I can honestly say I have never once doubted her testimony and love of Christ. I don’t know if I’d be who I am without her example. She always called us together for prayer, scripture reading, fhe, and was never hesitant to share her testimony. Happy Mother’s Day Mama and thanks for being so great!

I know you do that’s why it’s so funny! I think Mama had a bit of a slip up. Maybe we should share the bestness equally.
