Happy Mother's Day!!!!

As I was looking through my things for something to post for Mother's Day I found a copy of a poem that I had given my mom for Mother's Day a long time ago and decided to share it again.  Even after all this time this still fits and I still adore my mom! She is beautiful and graceful, gracious, smart and kind,loving, funny and truly one of  the best people I know.  I live each day hoping to be more like her.  I love you mom!

To Mom....
You've meant a million things to me,
You've stirred emotions in my heart .

When I was sick you cared for me
when I was sad you cried,
although some things are hard to get
you did your best and tried.

There have been days of sadness
and days of joy and glee,
In this whole world, I can't express
the things you've meant to me.

Sometimes I have forgotten you
and all your deeds so true,
but in my heart, there will always be
a place dear Mom, for you.

I could never repay you for
all the things you've done,
for all the happiness you've
brought the things for me you've won.

I could never forget you
forget your heart so true,
and always my ambition
is to be Mom, more like you.

Although your trials are many
and mine are very few,
there are three words,
Mom,please don't forget
and those are "I love you".

Another special mom and person in my life is my sister, Kris who is AMAZING!!!!! She has taught me so much about what it is to be a parent and to be a woman of grace. I love to share,cry, laugh,and talk with her and most of all we have the BEST adventures that are so unforgettable and always bringing us closer! She is an inspiration to me on so many levels and a key factor in me starting my blog! Love you!
