Happy Mother's Day

I have the best mother in the whole world. Being a mother myself has really opened my eyes to how wonderful and selfless my mother really is. Motherhood is more than a full time job it is your whole life. My mom got married at nineteen and had her first baby less than a year later. Eight more kids and thirty years later, she is still being an awesome mother and the best grandmother. It comforts me to know that she went through a lot of the same things I am going through right now. She had two kids while my dad was still in school and working. She went through a lot of difficult times raising a young family while my dad was traveling a lot for work but never once did she regret being a mother. My mom has taught me that being a mother is a wonderful calling in life and that it is something to be treasured not wishing it away or holding on until the kids are grown up and gone. I know my mom feels like she could have been a better mother but I honestly think she is the perfect mother for our family. Being a mother is such a selfless job and I am not very good at it yet but I am lucky that I have such a good example to follow. Whenever I am confronted with a problem concerning raising my family I always try to think what my mom would do. I know I can always count on my mom to be there for me. Thank you for everything mom; I love you!
