Since today is Mother's Day I wanted to mention two fantastic mothers in my life. First up, my sister. She is amazing! She has seven kids that she actually spends time with and raises (I'm only saying this part because of how people perceive people with large families and how the older siblings take care of the younger). She enriches their lives and helps them with their goals and strengths, ranging from choir practice to gymnastics, soccer to drama club, she helps her kids grow, and she still has time to cook dinner. OK, I've glamorized her a bit, and I'm sure she would protest that things don't always run like clockwork, but you should see her in action, she is such a great mother, you can seriously feel the love when she's talking to her kids. She is selfless like no other person I have met, and did I mention she breastfed Buddy when I couldn't and he couldn't tolerate anything else (he lost a pound in a week when he was barely a month old)? I love her kids, they are all really good kids, which in today's world is saying something!
(Photo by Opie Foto by the way, I think she is super fantastic!)
Next up, my own mother, without I wouldn't be here, which I think is a big deal! Those who work with me know all about my mother and frequently snicker at my sack lunches. That's right, you read correctly, I am a proud member of the I AM 37 YEARS OLD AND MY MOTHER STILL MAKES ME LUNCHES club! I love my momma, she has been a shoulder to cry on and pillar of support (did I mention I might possibly starve to death without her)?
Then I wanted to say how blessed I am to have Buddy in my life. He is a kindred spirit in so many ways-seriously, just look at the faces. He frequently tells me how he came to earth so I wouldn't be sad (really could he be any cuter?). I am so lucky to have him in my life and to be blessed to be a mother and all the fabulous and sometimes not so glamorous things that it entails!
So all in all a super fantastic Mother's Day!
