Happy Mother’s Day!
I’m sure you’re aware of it, but I thought I’d just take a moment to remind you how awesome you are. You’ve raised 3 pretty awesome sons (despite the fact that all you had to work with was 3 dorky little boys), and we’re all proud to call you our Mom.
You’re an awesome Mom and a loving wife with a green thumb to rival Martha Stewart (who are we kidding, she pays people to garden for her!). You’ve always been there to support me and help me out, either by giving sage advice, or just sitting down and knitting with me. Heck, if you hadn’t taught me to knit, this blog wouldn’t exist today!
And in these last few years, you’ve stood amazingly strong, despite all the stuff going on in your life, and I’m in awe of that. Your life is profoundly different today than what you imagined it to be, yet you’ve been able to roll with the punches, no matter how hard or fast they’ve come. Not content with having 3 sons and calling it a day, you and Dad took on the challenge of raising 3 of your nieces. I know that it’s one of the hardest things you’ve ever done, and I hope that when I’m confronted with a similar decision, I have the strength to say, “Ok God, I’ll do it”.
So thanks Mom. You’re the best Mom I could ask for. Even if you did have some crazy hair back in the 90’s.
(I’m so going to get it for that photo, aren’t I?)
You are such an adorable son, and SO not as dorky as you could be;)!
PLEASE tell me you are the one with the yellow glasses in that last phooto . . and happy MD to your mom from me!
You’re a good son. Your mom must be a wonderful lady.
Aw, what a nice tribute to your mom! She must be supercool to have such an awesome son!!
Mother’s Day is a special day for us ladies only because of the wonderful children we have in our lives! I am blessed beyond measure by you and your brothers…and no, you were never dorky! That picture from the 90’s is pretty funny. Oh how you loved those yellow glasses without the lens…you wore them everywhere for at least a year! Ok, maybe you were a bit dorky…but I thought you and your brothers were adorable! I loved you back then, and I love you now…I am truly blessed by the Lord!!!
heh heh. there were no lenses in those glasses?
i think your mom got you back.
You so need to finish that shawl for your mom. She seems like a pretty cool mom.
oooh … i am intouch with that ’story’. my mom is raising 3 of her grandchildren.
my mom rocks too!
oh Adam, that was a really eloquent tribute to your mother. You managed to set the post to save your skin, putting the text above the older photo.
nice to see the care and affection between you both
what happening about the house?
take care
Oh, how sweet. I hope your Mom liked the post and didn’t ask about the shawl. :)
when’s that photo from, adam? your hair is red and kouri is short. do you still have that green shirt? i think it’s the one i wore when we went to the good friday service with your pink hair. :-)
Umm, seriously. Way to make me tear up. Jeez, I remember when you guy all looked pretty awkward. That pic is awesome. Now if only I could have been around when you had those glasses. That would have been a good time…
