This is my mom. She’s wearing a clothespin on her shirt because the photo was taken at one of my bridal showers. Don’t be fooled, if she wanted to make a clothespin cool, she totally could. I have to credit my mom, she was dedicated to her education so with one baby on the hip and one on the way (with the help of my awesome dad) she got her nursing degree. She always had the right answer about what to do when I was scared on the first day of school, how to treat my many illnesses (always get some sleep and drink water), and what to consider when buying or renting a house for the first time.
We’re pretty good friends. Probably because she never makes fun of me when I bust out my camera for a picture at some ridiculous time and she’s always up for a Gilmore Girls or Harry Potter marathon. She shares her books with me because she reads faster than anyone I know and she always makes the best food. She can even make a better peanut butter and jelly sandwhich than anyone I know. Here’s evidence of how awesome she is…
Seriously, do you know someone who would do this just to humor her kids? By the way, the kids are 19, 23 & 24. Yeah, we’re often asked if we’re sisters. So thank you so much mom for everything. I love you and hope my some day children will love me as much as I love you!
There are some other wonderful mothers in my life and I’d like to send some Happy Mothers Day love their way too! Josh’s lovely mother Cindy.
And his grandmother Betty.
and my mom’s mother Jane.
Finally, a bitter sweet mother’s day as my dad’s mother Beatrice is not here but I know she’s being celebrated in the hearts of her many great grandchildren, grandchildren and children!
