Mother's Day is one of my very favorite holidays. Being a mom means so much to me. I work harder at being a mom than anything else I've ever done in my life, but it's rewards are so far beyond anything I could have ever imagined. Every time Carter says, "I love you, Mommy," or Bryson climbs onto my lap to share a book, I know I'm living the life God planned for me. I love my boys so incredibly much. I know it's the same love my own mother has for me.
My mom is a wonderful mom. She's loving and kind, sweet and thoughtful. She's a good listener and a great friend. Growing up with my mom meant always knowing that I was loved. One of my favorite memories of living at home is that my mom always tucked me into bed at night, all the way through high school. She would sit on the edge of my bed and talk with me about whatever was important to me. I still love talking things over with my mom!
Now that I'm married, I have 2 moms. I know I'm lucky because most girls don't have the kind of closeness that I share with my mother-in-law. We have lots in common and always have fun together. I learn a lot from her, and I genuinely enjoy her company. She's never met a stranger, and has a contagious happiness about her. I would love to be more like her!
Happy Mother's Day, Moms!
