Happy Mom's Day

Happy Mothers Day momma. On this journey of infertility I have thought of Mothers Day creeping up for a while. I thought about everyone that this day is actually hard for. That list could go on and on....But I wanted to choose something else for today. Choose to celebrate my mom and her mom! What a great heritage I have. My Granny is such a beautiful woman. She is Christ centered, independent, has a sense of humor, selfless and the best Granny any kid could ask for. She loves flowers and birds and enjoys the smaller things in life. I love her. My mother is a repeat of all of those very things with a few characteristics added. She is a prayer warrior, she loves to go shopping, she thinks of all of those "mother" things like "did you forget...", "have you...", "this is something you might want to iron" (meaning, I shouldn't buy it b/c I do not iron a thing!). She loves chocolate, used to cook dinner every night, is a neat freak and is great with children. She is also a faithful friend. My mom also has a sense of humor! Oh my. The most wonderful thing is that she can laugh at herself...often! She mixes up sayings, peoples names and if you get her even close to driving on the same road she goes to work on you'll end up at her school instead of your original destination. She loves sonic drinks, Large Vanilla D.C. with extra vanilla easy ice and feels the need to get Christmas presents for the little carhops! She is a lot of fun to spend time with. We now think alike and enjoy a lot of the same things. Some would say that is scary, which at times it is my friends but overall it's a pretty good deal! So Happy Mothers Day. I hope the sun is out today so you can lay out (me too!).

Erynn, this is precious! Mother's Day is a tough one, I concur...your strength of heart is encouraging, and your focus is high and right! I love you...and your mom...and that "anonymous" commenter!
