My Mommy

She loves me more than anyone in the whole world. My brothers could tell you the same thing. Sometimes she might drive us a little crazy with worrying over us. But ,we know it's just because she loves us sooooo much, and wants us to be happy. No matter what, she is always there for me. She thinks I am the most wonderful, amazing, talented, beautiful young woman she knows. She loves Heavenly Father and has a strong testimony of the gospel. Because of her, I have always known that I am daughter of God. She works hard to achieve her goals. At the time in life when some people are planning for retirement, she went back to school and earned a Master's degree. My Mommy is smart, passionate, and a whole lot of fun.

Here are a few quotes that made me think of her:

A mother's yearning feels the presence of the cherished child even in the degraded man. George Eliot

Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall; A mother's secret hope outlives them all. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes ( Like I said, no matter what.)

If you have a mom, there is nowhere you are likely to go where a prayer has not already been. ~Robert Brault

"Making a decision to have a child -- it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."- Elizabeth Stone (I thought this one was kind of funny, and that mom could probably relate.)

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. ~Washington Irving

Mom,

You are my truest friend. Thanks for always being there, and for teaching me the most important things.

Love Always and Forever,
