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?)
