Mother Dear, I LOVE you SO!

So... I really LOVE the one like this that says

Keep Calm

and

Carry on.

But sometimes

(actually more often than not)

I

Freak out

and

call my Mom

It's just my go to

keeping calm is not really in my nature

BUT

it is something I work at on a daily basis :)

and I'm getting better

due to the help and extreme patience of my wonderful Mother.

I honestly do not know what I ever did

to deserve such an amazing Mother

I'm thinking Heavenly Father knew how needy I would be here on earth

and he decided he had better send me to someone beyond wonderful

in order for me to have even the slightest chance at success.

In any case no matter how it all came about,

I am ever grateful for his wisdom....

There are no words to fully describe my mother

from the time I was a little girl

my favorite part of the week was getting to go to the grocery store

with my Mom

and since then the joy in our outings together has never faded

I can tell my her

EVERYTHING

but usually I don't even have to

because she already knows.

But even though she knows all

as Mothers always do

She still listens with open ears, and a heart of gold

she lets me vent, and complain

wine, cry, and laugh

then cry a little more.

Mind you she has 11 other Fotu's

plus my Dad which equals 3

and a grandbaby to worry about

yet she still finds a large amount of time for her homesick 21 yr. old

This last week the homesick bug hit hard

it was late on a Friday night

and I couldn't sleep

I had already talked to my Mom earlier in the day

and didn't want to bother her again with my pitiful homesickness...

But there I sat on my bed

a thousand miles away from home

probably on facebook or something of the sort

when my phone rang

and of course it was

My Mother

words cannot describe the joy that filled me

we talked for over an hour

about nothing really

just to pass the time

but every second of it meant all the world to me....

How grateful I am for a Mother who cares

a Mother who knows

a Mother who is selfless

and a Mother like mine.

I only hope that someday I can become JUST LIKE HER.

I Love you Mom

Always and Forever

xoxo
