HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

I just wanted to give a shout out to my mom and my mom-in-law today to tell them how much I love them.

Mom, it's hard to find the words to explain why I love you so much and how you make my life happier. I am grateful for the way you raised me, to be obedient, clean, honest, hard-working and kind. I am also grateful for the support you give me and for the strong friendship we share. I guess, I mostly just want to say "Thank you, and I love you".

Diane, I always hoped I would have a mother-in-law that I could really consider a mother. Someone who was sweet and fun and loving. Someone that would think of me as her daughter. And you are all of those things to me and much more. I feel extremely grateful to have such a wonderful mom. You did such a great job raising Blake, he is an amazing husband and father. Thank you and I love you.

Happy Mother's Day to both of my moms.

MOTHERHOOD IS NOT FOR sissies --

MOTHERHOOD IS NOT FOR WOMEN with weak stomaches, regular sleep patterns or white carpeting.

MOTHERHOOD IS FOR WOMEN who can sip tea from a empty cup, see genius in tiny scribbles, and hear the unspoken feelings of a child's heart.

MOTHERHOOD IS FOR WOMEN who care enough to say no when it would be easier to say yes, who believe in their children forever and love them even longer.

MOTHERHOOD IS FOR WOMEN who are strong and gentle at the same time, who make a difference in the lives they touch and the world around them.

MOTHERHOOD IS FOR WOMEN like you.
