Happy Mother's Day!!!

I wrote this back on '04 for my Mom, but wanted to share it with y'all today.

I remember....

I remember a Mother who stayed home with her children.
I remember a Mother who arranged holidays with lots of family.
I remember a Mother who took catnaps after dinner.
I remember a Mother who was game for camping at Bite-a-Bit.

I remember a woman who loved her parents very much.
I remember a woman who cooked and cleaned a lot of dishes.
I remember a woman who took me to piano and horseback riding lessons.
I remember a woman who took lots of pictures of her girls.

I remember a Mom who healed me of chicken pox.
I remember a Mom who let me crank the homemade pasta out.
I remember a Mom who cried when I ran away on horseback.
I remember a Mom who watched scary movies with me.
I remember a Mom who knew I’d love a diamond and sapphire ring.

I remember how you let me hold my baby sister.
I remember how you tucked us in with a kiss at night.
I remember how you let me pick out yellow walls for my room.
I remember watching you drive away my 1st day at pre-K.
I remember crying bye to you on my 1st day at college and coming home 3 days later.

Everyday, I want you to remember how much I love you.

Not only is she a wonderful mom, but she is also a best friend. Thank you for giving me life so I could turn around and be a mom to 2 handsome fishermen.

We love you Nana.
