mothers are awesome. we are sheerly amazing creatures.
i love my own mother so much. thank you, mom, for showing me how to live a life on the happy side. thank you for showing me how to find the positive in absolutely anything, everything and especially
EVERYONE.
i love my mother in law so much. thank you, Laurie, for showing me how to be a giver. how the little things we do for others show them how loved they are. {those little things you have always done for me and us have not gone unnoticed}.
and i love all my other mothers. my mother sister in laws. my mother small groupers. my mother friends. my mother BFF's. my mother most-BFF in the whole wide world who is a pretty amazing mother of a mother. my mother grandmothers. my mother business partners. my mother neighbors. lots and lots of mothers. even brand new mothers i am just getting to know. i truly love all of you mothers in my life.
all of these mothers have such unique gifts and special qualities. i have been blessed by each of them
in so many ways. i think of proverbs 31 to describe all of us mothers. it's not that the proverbs 31 woman was one woman. if she was, she was a whacked out of her mind tired mother. because she did a LOT! but....i think she represents the amazing qualities of many of us. i love her. i love us. i love mothers.
most though, i love these boys who call me their mother.
what a blessed, blessed thing to be called their mother.
of all the little boys in the whole great big universe...
God gave me simply, hands-down, the best ones he ever made.
so.so.so.so.so.blessed.
finally, a tribute to our lovely grandma barbara on our first mothers day apart.
