Happy Mother's Day

        When I was younger I always wanted a little sister. I have no idea what put that desire in my head. I would have had to share clothes and a room and a mother daughter relationship. Yeah, that definitely sounds selfish, but lets just say God knew what he was doing.
    A favorite past time for my mom and I was to sit and drink tea together while talking for hours and hours. She has passed on many words of wisdom to me through the years, has been there to listen to all of my joys and sorrows, has been a shoulder to cry on, and a great friend. There were many time where we would start laughing together about something and end up turning red and shedding tears, then my dad or brothers would walk in and we would get the "OK, it's now confirmed you are both crazy" face.
    I love my mom so very much and am so appreciative of all the work that she has put into me. The people around you shape who you are and I am simply a reflection of my mother. I know I've said it many times, but I do indeed hope that I can do as good a job with my children someday.

                                          Thanks Mom!
