Happy Mother's Day!

This will be our 1st Mother's Day without mom. Ugh! It's crazy that we've been without her for almost a year now. Time flies, time heals, but thank goodness time doesn't let us forget.

Even though I have to work on Mother's Day, I'm okay with it. At first I was feeling sorry for myself because I wouldn't be home to wallow in sorrow and self pity missing Mom this year. But I think it will actually be healing for me because I have the perfect Mother's Day job! Working in L&D I get to help women become Moms - how awesomely mother's-dayish is that!

Thanks, Mom, for introducing me to chocolate...I still love the stuff!

I love you, Mom, and miss you every day! Thanks for being my mom - and loving me the most! (Don't worry, I'll never tell David, B, or Jon that I was your favorite!)

Thank you, Mom, for loving me and even though you really wanted to, thank you for not pushing me over that edge! You're the best!

Jeff has an amazing mom! I love her so VERY much! Happy Mother's Day, Gway!

I love my kids. I love being a Mom. Motherhood is difficult and excruciatingly painful and most of the time I have no clue what I'm doing, but being a mom is the most rewarding job I've ever had. Even though I've done my best to ruin them, my children are wonderful. I can't imagine life without them! I just recently came across a quote that pretty much sums up my crazy family... "Home is where you are loved the most and act the worst." by Marjorie Pay Hinckley.

If you're a mom, Happy Mother's Day! If you have a mom, tell her Happy Mother's Day and make sure she knows just how much you love her!!!
Happy Mother's Day !!!
