My Momma!

My Mom on her wedding day! Beautiful!

Today is my Mom's birthday. She has lived a long and amazing life. I asked my grandma once how my mom was as child, and she said she was always a sweet child. I believe that. She has always been a sweet momma. When I was a teenager I had the usual struggles, (I call the teen years, especially jr. high, the arm pit of life.) I remember my mom sitting at the foot of my bed, and listening to me. She would encourage and counsel me. She loved me as I struggled along. She has always been a good listener. Growing up, she was my always there for me. And, as I have become a grown momma myself, she continues to be a source of encouragement and love. I can always count on her to build me up and tell me what an good mom I am.

She is super creative and ambitious. She is a great example to me of getting a lot done. She volunteers in the community and teachs classes about doing your family history. She never stops learning and reading, then sharing it with others. While other people her age have slowed down, she hasn't. If I live to be at least her age, I have 30 years to contribute to society. To find and complete all of my life missions. I have alot of things I'd still like to do, and she is great example of "doing"! I feel so blessed and thankful to have such a wonderful mother. She is the best mom for me.

Happy Birthday, Momma!!
