I've been sitting here trying to write about how much I love my mom.
To describe how much her support means to me.
To describe how much I miss her.
To describe how much I love her.
But I can't find the words.
(I have forgotten what it feels like to be cold. Winter is not going to be my friend this year I'm pretty sure. Also my mom has been smoke free for over a year!! WAY TO GO!! I just love this picture so I had to use it. This best sums up our relationship)
I can't find the words to describe how loved and supported I felt when I told my mom that not only was I not going to pursue the American dream of career and family but instead I was going to sell everything I owned and travel the world so I could love the "least of these" and her only question was, "Do you think this is God's next step for you?" and I said yes and she said, "Ok.".
I can't find the words to describe the joy I feel every time I see a comment on my blog from my mom because I feel as though she's here with me.
I can't describe the ache I've felt in my heart as my birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, her birthday, Easter and now Mother's Day have happened and we weren't/aren't together.
I can't describe the excitement to know that when I land back on the East Coast her face is the first I will see.
So I guess I'll just say I love you mom.
I love how you love me.
I love all the big and small things that make our relationship so special.
I love that I'll always be your baby and you'll always be my mommy.
28 days!
And for your viewing pleasure, the team made a we love our moms video. We were super tired and some of us where still sick so it's kind of awkward and awesome all at the same time!
