Tribute to Mom

So I started my blogging days by pokin fun at my mom. For the record, I was kidding. It did happen, but I am sure it had to do with the situation (me at her work), and the lighting, so Mom, I understand. But here is another reason to poke fun...




















Is that a diaper????

But I do want to say a few things and I hope you enjoy the pics throughout...

First, for Mother's Day, I called my Mom from the beach. That is it. No card, no gift, no hug, no chocolates. So this is my makeup, and I will still give her all of the above.


My mom has always been there for me. She is one of the few reasons I have self-esteem today. When every other person in the world had critical things to say, she was always there to encourage me.





















She taught me to love God and family. She taught me to sacrifice even when I don't have much to sacrifice. To be honest and caring. She is selfless, tender, and oh so beautiful.


















She made me want to find someone like her to spend the rest of my life with (and I did).






















She always called me her rock, but I have come to understand what that really means and have realized that through life she has always been my rock. On Earth, there is only one person that I can say has ALWAYS been there for me since the beginning to come to when I need encouragement, someone to hug me really hard, or just someone to cook me a greasy cheeseburger. Yes its my mom. I love you Mom. And I know you know who I am. I was just kiddin.

Umm.. so, I'm going to quit reading blogs at work, because this is the second time I've cried today in my office (see Dan and Tami's blog). But seriously, this is extremely sweet. Your mom is an amazing lady- just like Joanna. You're right about that. Two very kind, humble, compassionate women. You're so blessed!
