Superwoman
Today I celebrate someone special. Someone who I has helped shape me, and love me into who I am today.
Today I celebrate Superwoman... otherwise known as my mom!
It's her birthday today, and they say that as you get older you have a different appreciation for your parents and grandparents. Over the last few years my appreciation for my parents has grown immensely. While life has brought many ups and downs in the past few years.... my mom has been a voice of optimism & faith. "We will get through this"- "It doesn't make sense- but I believe God knows what He's doing". I am sure there has been nagging in there too-- but for her heart and spirit I am grateful.
They say that your life is a gift from God, and how you live it is your gift to Him. Today mom, I say you have taught, loved, believed, prayed, hoped, persisted, cared for, laughed, smiled, hugged, encouraged, cleaned up after, planned for, organized and built a life that is honorable. Yes, some days get the better of you, and that's what makes you human. Thank you for being a role model. Thank you for making me laugh. Thank you for believing I could when no one else thought it could ever happen. Thank you for picking me up when I needed to laugh. Thank you for being an amazing woman. I hope that in my life I can be half the gift you have been to me!
You deserve to be celebrated! I love you!!
