For “poison control” and the smell of cookies wafting through the house…
For our family motto, permanently engraved in my mind…
For the wisdom to know what lil’ ladies do and do not do…
For our family motto, permanently engraved in my mind…
For the wisdom to know what lil’ ladies do and do not do…
For all those years of giant, puffy bangs, frilly easter dresses, and matching outfits with Alyse…
For Flintstones orange sherbert push-pops when I was sick…
For pretending it’s our turn for “kid’s tree” each Christmas…
For sticking up for me when Dad makes fun of my strategically disheveled hair and non-matching clothes…
For parking me in front of the trailers until I “got it”…
For mopping the floor on your hands and knees…
For mopping the floor on your hands and knees…
For teaching me how to love others humbly from the sidelines…
For working hard to take care of our family–no matter how miserable people have tried to make it for you…
For finding the silver lining when it was invisible…
For using your talents to bless those around you…
For care packages in college…
For always having hazzlenut creamer in the fridge when I come home…
For letting me make my own decisions…and mistakes…
For your open door policy with all of my friends…
For your provision, protection, and trust…
For the smile on your face when the whole family gets together…
For teaching me how to give until it hurts…
For being my mom first, and my friend second, when I needed to be straightened out…
For your discipline, and your grace…
For your incredible work ethic…
And for the way you love me like no one else can…
THANK YOU.
Mom, I honor you.
I love you.
