Happy Mothers Day!!!

See that smile on my Mom's face? She is that way a lot. I want her to know how much I love her. I am the oldest in my family.

I remember lots of times my Mom thanking me for being her child and for being her first. My mom is my best friend along with my only sister. Growing up was easy. My Mom and Dad made sure of that.

I remember so many fun times as a kid.

I remember walking home from kindergarten and seeing my mom sitting on the front lawn waiting for me. I knew she would be there waving at me the whole block she could see me.

I remember going to a super Saturday type thing with my mom and in our sack lunches she put a mason jar with milk and pudding mix so we could shack and make our own pudding for dessert.

I remember on Saturday's she would give all of the kids a $1.00 to walk to the candy store and load up on candy while she cleaned the house to perfection we sat on the porch eating our bag of candy in the shade.

I remember my mom going to the baseball park to talk to the other girls on my team about why I wore a bra and to please not make me feel bad about it. While I was at home crying about them wanting to see my new bra!

I remember the traumatized state I was in when she introduced me to maxi pads and tampons before I even needed them.

I remember my Mom tell me that even though she is a horrible passenger in the car that she felt safe when I drove.

I remember so many things about growing up and the love and support my mom showed me.

I hope now that I am a Mom of three (I don't know how she ever did it four times) that I can be as good of a mom as she is.

I love you Mom! Happy Mothers Day!!!
