To My Momma!

Mom, Momma, Mommy, Ma, Mamerz, Hey You, Mary Anne, and any other name we may have called you over the years...

Can we say best mom ever? Yeah I think we can! You have raised 4 beautiful wonderful amazing (yeah I'm bragging about me and the sibs) children! You are such a wonderful woman, mother, and friend! I look up to you so much and in so many ways.  You are the best example of a strong Christian woman that I know and I am so thankful to have you as MY mom!  Want to know even more why I love you so much? Well here are some reason:

1. I am your mini me--- ever since I was a little girl everyone has said that I look exactly like you.  And who better to look like than you?! Everyone knows right away that I am your daughter and I love it!

2. You are one of my BESTEST friends---- yeah I know it took us years to get here.  I was a hard one to raise but don't worry you know it was worth it! You are the one person I can truly say I want to tell everything to.  You are the person I want to call when things go bad and I need to vent. I cannot thank you enough for always being there for me!

3.  Your an AMAZING cook--- Ok so I know you are tired of it but I want you to know I really do appreciate the fact that you have always cooked for us growing up! There was not a single night that I would come home and you not have a hot meal on the table! Also you have taught me everything I know about cooking.   I loved thinking about all the times we spent in the kitchen together!

4. You raised us well--- You were that amazing mom that stayed at home and raised us.  After I was born you quit your job and became a stay at home mom.  I know it could not have been easy raising us four kids, but I am so grateful you did! You were always there for us and always helped us with anything we needed! I look back on those years and think "That's the kind of mom I want to be!"

5. YOU LOVE ME!!--- Like I have said, I know raising me was not easy.  I was a hard, difficult child but you never gave up on me.  And because of you I am the person I am today.  You are the best example of what I want to be in my life, and I hope one day I am half the mom/woman you are!

I love you a lot and I hope you know how appreciative I am of you! No one could ever replace you and I cannot imagine life without you.  I hope you have the best Mother's Day and I cannot way till you come home and we can celebrate:))
