My Mom is and will always be a hero to me.
She was the best example of a Mother, full of unconditional love, she was strong, smart, trustful, I could talk to her about any thing. She always had a way to make every thing better and never made me feel alone.
She was kind, gental, she loved the gospel and followed it with every thought and action. Her smile was full of light.
She was the best cook, a hard worker, and she had a green thumb that could make any thing grow.
A couple of things I miss the most is a simple phone call just to her her voice, to talk about the day. If I had any questions about being a mother now that I have three children of my own, or about recipes, gardening, and church. To be able to hand the phone over to my children to her them say how much they love her and to hear her say it back. She wanted so much to have grandchildren. I know she would of been great, because she was great for the short time that she was here. She had such patients, and when she would talk to them she would have kindness about it. She would treat each child equally, no one more or less.
I miss her hugs, going shopping, and talking tell all hours of the night when we would go and visit.
Some things I remember about mothers day with my mom was: going to church and the primary singing we often go walking. I can not go through mothers day now with out going to church and hearing that song sang by the primary and having tears run down my face feeling like it was just yesterday when I was singing it to my mother. Today was my first to have my own daughter up there in front sing that very same song. WOW talk about tear jerkier!!!
I remember the church always giving out flowers. She always would remember to get some for the mothers in our family who could not make it to church that day. It seemed some or all of us would be carrying one home with us to take to someone.
Somethings I love about being a Mom.
- To kiss their sweet faces and rub my check up against their heads and breath them in when they are born.
- To be able to console them, and kiss there little bo boos better.
- To hear them say " I love you so much" and to catch each kiss when blown.
- To hear and see their laughter and smiles.
- Their funny things they say and do and to be the first to witness it.
- To go through each phase of growth with them.
- To see how excited they get over such simple little things.
- How simple life is through their eyes and to wish it was as simple as that all the time.
- To hear them say their prayers and to talk about Jesus.
What a wonderful opportunity to be able to have such a great example of motherhood in my life and to experience it for my self. I just hope that I am only a glimpse of what my mom was to me and that I can make her proud of who I am and hope to be. That my kids will know her and feel the same way about me some day down the road.
Her is a poem for my mom on mothers day.
If Roses grow in Heaven
Lord, please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my Mother's arms
and tell her they're from me.
Tell her that I love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for awhile.
Because remembering her is easy,
I do it every day,
but there's an ache within my heart
that will never go away.
When you tell my mom I love her
tell her how I'm glad she was here for me.
To show me of her example
of what a mother could and should be.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!
