It's my mom's birthday today! Whoo hoo! Mom, I hope you had a great birthday, and I really hope your birthday present arrived on time this year. I wrote a reminder on the calendar this time so I'd send it a week before, but since I failed to leave the house pretty much at all the last week, it still ended up being two days before. But, I have to say, I was excited about your gift this year. It just seemed like it was SO YOU.
My mom is an amazing woman. Every time I talk to her she is busy doing something. She is always involved with something, and goes out of her way to try and help others. My mom serves in the Young Women organization and when a young woman in her group was not allowed to come to young womens due to bad grades at school, my mom set it up to tutor her every week before Young Womens. It would be so much easier to not go the extra mile since she works full time, comes home for a short bit before going to the YW activities. But she did. I'm thankful for her loving example.
I love that I can call her any time of the day with a question about mothering, a question about cooking, a question about life, or just to say hello, and she will take the time to listen to me. One of the most important things to any girl or woman is their mother, and I'm glad that I have the one I do. She really is one of the most optimistic people I know, and looks for the good in any situation- even the ones I think there really could be nothing good. Ha. Thank you for your shining example.
I love you mom, and hope you have a happy birthday!
