Happy Mother's Day Mom.

Mom, When I was little, I love you so much. I begged you for that little baby doll at the store and you always said no. And if I asked again, you would look into my eyes and say yes only because you loved me. And I loved you too. When I was in elementary school you always helped me with my homework and left me have sleepovers and have pillow fights and paint our nails and get it all over the kitchen floor, but you didn't care. You loved me, And I loved you too. As I became a teen, I didn't want to be around you because I was afraid you would embarrass me and you weren't cool enough to be around my friends and I. As I got older and graduated college, I cried because I never wanted you around, and now was the time I really needed you to be around. When I had Abbie, I loved you more than anything. You helped me raise her while I went to college. You helped me through all our rough times and always made sure we had everything we needed to survive. I never thought that you would teach me so much about being a mother. At first, I hated it. I hated getting up in the middle of the night ten thousand times because she needed fed. And then, as she got older and smiled at me, that was the day I knew that my life changed for the better. I knew that I had a precious baby girl. When I had my first mother's day with her, I cried. I held her tight and I held you tight. I never wanted another mother's day without her. Or without you. As I grew older to where I am now, you helped me through e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. When I see you and and the kids out in the yard playing, it makes me feel good that i gave you your 'little bundles of joy'
I love you Mom. Thanks for everything.

A Mother's Love

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappoints
And calm all of our fears.

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.

There are times when only a Mother's faith
Can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.

For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith
And a Mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the Angels
And sent from God above...
