Mother's Day 2013

 

Special ladies in my life ~

Mothers

 

Of course, top of the list ~ my mom! 

She raised 4 daughters ...was always home for us,

was QUITE the fashionable lady,

loved to sing (actually made a record in her younger years) [and all of us girls LOVE music],

she was QUITE the golfer, exercised, ate wisely,

and I just wish I could sit and visit with her this day.

I love her....and miss her.

 

AND.....

Alden's Mom was a dear wonderful example

of God's love to me.  She loved me as her own.

I miss her terribly and love her lots.

 

My sisters,

Dianne, Susan and Kim ~ amazing ladies, wonderful moms and dear friends to me and so many.

 

Courtney ~ my first born daughter. 

Gift from God then and through the years she grows more dear.

I love her tons ~ and admire her with her 6 children. 

Super Mom for sure.....inside and out.

 

Christy ~ daughter in "love" ~ married our oldest son.

She's full of life, loves her kids, , the best cook, enjoys family and friends.

I so appreciate her....with love!

 

AND my special friends......they know who they are.

I love how you love your kids, sacrifice for them, and encourage them.

 

Mothering ~ my most fulfilling role in all the world.

I have loved it.  I wouldn't trade it for anything.

 

 

Steve, Hannah, Courtney, Phill ~ the JOY of my life!

 

Parenting.........It IS the greatest JOY and.....the greatest CHALLENGE.

 

Thank you God for giving me the gift of my kids ~

and these wonderful ladies in my life.

 

Happy Mother's Day!
