*HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY*

As Sunday is quickly approaching, I feel inclined to take a minute and pay tribute to all of the “Great Moms” in my life. You all are an inspiration to me as a mother.

I would like to start with my daddy’s mother – Grandma Bonnie.
What a special lady you are. You are so caring and loving; one of the most fun people to be around. Everyone loves you, old and young. You have this beautiful charisma about you that seems to linger on and on! You are so active, very witty and fun. One of the hardest workers I know. I have many fond memories of my childhood spending time with you helping in the yard and in the house. I love being in your presence, you know how to make people feel loved and good about themselves. I am not sure how you do it but you have a way of taking something not so great and making it bloom like a rose. You have been blessed with so many talents, I don’t know of one thing that you can’t do and do well! Grandma Bonnie you are truly an amazing woman, and such a great mother! I feel so blessed to have been able to grow up next to you and have you apart of my life and my daughters’ lives. We are so lucky. Em is very lucky to have you as well! I love you grandma!

Grandma Turner, my mom’s mom.
Oh how I love you, you are a very special lady. You are probably the most sincere and genuine person I have met. You have such a tender way about you. I don’t think I have ever heard you say one cross word. I admire your spirituality and love for the gospel. You truly are an example to all those around you. I remember spending weekends with you and when it came time to go home, my heart would hurt. You are such a great mom and grandma not to just your own but also to all those around you. Thank you for your ongoing love and support in all that I do. I feel so blessed to have you in our lives. I admire you and look up to you in many ways. Thank you for being such a great person and for raising such a great daughter. We love you Grandma!

Ahhhh, My Mom/Grandma Jill.
I am not even sure if there are words to describe you. You have been and always will be one of the most important people in my life. I love you so much; my heart is so full with gratitude for you. You truly are a daughter of God, you represent all things heavenly. You possess so many wonderful qualities; you truly are unique in every way. You have always and still do put all of us kids first before your needs and it never has seemed to bother you. You taught us to work hard and to be proud of who we are and to love one another unconditionally. I admire you in every way; I hope that I can be as good as a wife, mother, grandmother and friend as you are. You must know that you are the glue that holds the family together, without you our family wouldn’t be. Always be proud of that and always know that you are loved and appreciated beyond measure. I love you so much mom!

My sweet sister – Ginger
Wow! You impress me. I have looked up to you all of my life, with love and admiration. I am so proud to say that you are my sister! You have such an amazing family, I envy that, but in a good way because you deserve it. You have turned out to be the best little mom. Max is so lucky to have you. What a special little boy he is and it’s from all of that love you have for him. You are such a beautiful and smart young woman, blessed with so many talents. All of us here love you and miss you. I want you to know that your friendship is so important to me. I think about you and your little family daily. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. Happy Mother’s Day Ginger, I love you so much!

Connie Gillins and Diane Mundy, my girls’ grandmas.
It just wouldn’t be right if I didn’t write a little about the both of you. Thank you for the great example that you both set for me and my girls and for being so kind to me. I am blessed to say that I consider you both important people in my life. You truly have been great friends and have always shown me love and support. More importantly you both love my daughters and treat them equally. I can’t tell you how much that means to me as a mom. We are all very lucky to have you both a part of our lives. We love you, Happy Mother’s Day.

And last but not least, I would like to tell my two beautiful angels, Jeslyn and Jauncee how much I love and adore them. The best thing in the world is the opportunity that I have been given to be your mother. I will always love and support you in all that you do. My heart is with you in all things and in all ways. I hope that I can be the best mom that I can be to the both of you and give you what you need. I promise to always love you unconditionally. Thank you for making my job as a mother the best ever! I love you both so much forever and always!

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO ALL OF YOU!
