Mom it has been four years now since you passed away, and I think about you every day!!
I wanted to make a tribute to you by listing a few of the millions of things you have taught me
.
-I was not born in a barn!
-Anything worth doing is worth doing right!
-Always stand up for what you I believe, even if I am the only one around that believes it
-I am the one that has to sleep at night.
-Always follow my intuitions, if something seems not quite right, it probably isn't.
-Try to get along with my sisters, because they will become my best friends.
-Nothing is EVER so bad that a lunch date can't help.
-I can catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
-Love with all your heart, that is why we are here.
-Don't be afraid to act goofy and have fun
-Make the time for myself and so something I enjoy.
-It's really not too bad to have a room full of fabric and craft supplies, I always have something to do.
-It will work out somehow it always does.
-If I say I am going to do something I better do it
-DON'T EVER GIVE UP!
-I have to taste everything at least once before I can say I don't like it.
-Cupboard doors and light switches really do work both ways.
-The only way it is going to get done is if I do it.
-Having a good sense of humor can get me through tough times.
-Sometimes I need to pick my battles.
-I cant spoil my kids with love (only with things)
-It is actually kind of fun to let the kids give you a mohawk!!
Mom you taught me so many things I don't have room to list them all. I hope that I can be the kind of mom to my kids that you were to me. I miss you so much, I am so glad that I know I will see you again!!
Thank You!!

What a beautiful post. I loved the little sayings I am glad you now have them recorded and can continue to cherish them. I think I could have learned a lot from your mom. Sounds like she was a smart lady.
ReplyDeleteThis made me giggle...and cry...all at the same time! She did have such a way about her didn't she! She was such a ....there really aren't the right words to do her justice. Glad I was able to know her, I am a better person because of her!
