Happy Mother's Day

I have the most amazing Mom ever!! I look up to her so much and hope to one day be as great a mom as she is. Looking back now, I do not know how in the world she raised the 4 of us, went back to college, and kept up with the house and every day stuff. When I was in 5th grade, she went back to college to get her degree in Education and she hasn't looked back since. She has since gotten her Masters and Administration degree in Education and I could not be more proud of her. Her love for her job is amazing and I hope I am half the teacher she is.

I talk to my Mom often and love sharing stuff with her. Matt often makes fun of me because we talk so much, but I am just so blessed to be able to call my Mom my best friend. She is the only one who will tell me to suck it up and quit feeling sorry for myself or just let me cry when I need to cry. I honestly do not know what I would do without her in my life.

My Mom is so brave and I learned that first hand this past Fall while I helped take care of my Mamaw. My Mom stayed strong and did everything she could to make my Mamaw feel at peace. I know my Mamaw appreciated everything my Mom, Aunt Debbie, Uncle Tim and Uncle Steve did for her. My Mom learned how to be a great mother from the great mother she had in her life. I know today is very hard for her as it is for all of us, but I know my Mamaw is looking down and smiling. I hope today that my Mom sees a beautiful butterfly. I love you Mom and I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day!
