Today is the day of MY sweet mother's birth! I am so excited to party with her later, but first I'd like to say a few things about this mother of mine. First of all, she is an amazing lady and kind to all. She is patient and loving with her kids. She laughs at her kid's jokes and tells some of her own. As a family, we enjoy her presence every day, because we can count on hearing her infectious laugh daily.
Second of all, she has an amazing testimony. She has faith. Lots of it. Listening to her talk about the Gospel astounds me. She would tell anyone and everyone about her beliefs and share the happiness that she has found. She knows that families are forever and reminds us all in hard times. She lost her younger brother years ago and though it pains her, I can see that she's willing to endure until they are together again.
Third, she's a great friend. I love MY mom because she doesn't always have to be my mom. She can be my friend too. We can chat about all the exciting and dumb aspects of my life. I never feel ashamed of mistakes in front of her because she always makes it clear that she loves me. She is a great friend to her friends as well. I couldn't tell you how many times she's made a meal and taken it to someone just to give them a break or if they have lost someone. I can't tell you how many times she's been to lunch with a friend who needed her. I can tell you that she makes a friend everywhere she goes because she has a beautiful smile and a fabulous laugh!
Here are a few memories I've shared with MY mom:
She has her own eternal family! Eternity will definitely be a good time!
