Happy Mother’s Day today to my precious Mother and Mother-in-law and all Mothers today.
Thank you Mother:
- for loving me the moment I was placed in your arms in the hospital
- for the countless prayers you prayed for me for my arthritis to go into remission (it wasn’t God’s will)
- for the Popsicle money for Anthony and me
- for the wonderful home cooked meals and pies and cookies and candy
- for not yelling at me when I climbed on the sink to look in the mirror and I fell and you had to take me to the doctor and my tooth was messed up
- for teaching me all the Bible stories and for all the books you read to me…I credit you with my love of reading
- for the skates and Easy Bake oven and Barbie dolls and clothes and jewelry, etc., etc.
- for being both mother and father to Anthony and me for so many years
- for sitting up in a chair night and day at LeBonheur when I had surgery
- for the sleepless nights you spent with me during my many other operations
- for the countless trips to doctors
- for listening to me talk about countless boring teenage stuff…I credit you for our good relationship during those awkward years when society says we weren’t supposed to get along
- for holding me while I shed tears and telling me it would be okay
- for teaching me much more than I could ever learn anywhere else
- for the laughter we share when we go shopping together
- for your many years of sacrificial and unconditional love
Mama, this barely scratches the surface. I love you, Gina
What a beautiful post! Such wonderful memories! Thanks so much for your kind words and support right now. Like you~I don’t have children~we just have our pets. Today is so hard for me because I would celebrate Mother’s Day as a mom to Patch. I gotta be strong though for My Mom and for Jedd’s Mom. *sniff*
Happy Mother’s Day, Gina! Give your children a big hug from me!
Love Ya!
