"Mother Dear I Love You So..."

Mom,
Happy Mother's Day.
You are Awesome.
Thank you for all that you have taught me.
I am so blessed to have you for a mother, and my dearest friend.

Thank you for teaching me to appreciate my charmed life and laugh and find joy in the little things...

...like the fact that Quincy's Mother's Day card to me was written all over her body in hot pink marker and black ball point pen that she found in the desk drawer (when she stripped naked 5 minutes before church), and that Reese downright refused to go sing the sweet little "Mother's Day Medley" with the primary kids today, but was more than willing to belt a Killers song at the top of her lungs on the way home from church...followed by, "aren't I such a good singer, Mom? This is just for you, I hope you are listening to my beautiful Mothers Day Song. Hey stop talking to Dad, I'm singin' a song here...why are you laughing?..."

And THAT was followed by the "Happy Birthday" song from Quincy.

I know that my appreciation for the divine role I play, and my gratitude for the precious gift of my children comes from the wonderful example of selfless love and service you have given to all of your children over the years. You've made each of us feel loved and special and of great worth.
I am grateful to have been given the gift of YOU.

You are a wonderful mother.
Love you. Miss you.
