Mother's Day

I have been a mother for 25 years and, boy, has it gone FAST.  I still vividly remember both my babies as I cuddled and loved them.  They were so cute and small and cuddly and they loved me so much.  I loved to rock them and dress them and feed them and revel in their lovely babiness.  This is why I am ready to be a grandmother.  I don't have anyone small to rock and dress.  And, there's no baby reveling. But, let's not forget that I still have the cuddles, the love, the feeding (!), and the cuteness.  It is just with bigger girls.  Their hearts are bigger, their laughs are louder, and (best of all) their love comes in delicious, comforting waves over the miles in emails and calls.


This is when they are the cutest.  See those smiles? I love my girls.

I love you!!! You are the greatest, Mom. I look to you for advice, comfort, love, and laughter and you don't disappoint. Thank you for always being there for me. I'm sorry we aren't as easy as we were when we were little. We are definitely more head strong now. haha. But I think in the best sense of the word you instilled that in us. I admire your strength and committment to God. I love you.
P.S. Thanks for blogging.
P.P.S. I'll work on that grandma thing for you! LOL.
