I realize I am breaking my vow of weekend silence, but hey, it’s for my Mom!

Mom-

Thanks for sticking it out

with me

and

for me

when I was a 7 year old laying in the hospital for 10 days,

the events completely altering your lifestyle for years

you smiled

when I was a sassy 13 year old trying to go in the wrong direction

and finding my wings

you prayed.

prayed that I would not have fun in my wayward ways,

and I didn’t

When I was 16 and in love, you approved.  I was happy.

Then at 18  you let me go to travel the world

giving me a vision and hope for my future,

Almost 20,  you stood by me at my wedding…

AND ever since, you have

rocked,

sang to,

scolded,

 laughed at,

prayed for,

hugged and kissed

11 1/2 Grandchildren.

You’re a Great Mom, a wonderful Grandma, and I love you!
