The Wonderful Mothers in Our Lives

I am so grateful for the wonderful mothers in our lives! My own sweet mom is a pillar of strength and faith in my life. She has taught me how to love and serve the Lord through her example. She is never too busy to serve. I can call her anytime, and she always claims it is a good time to talk. She is my best friend. I love you Mom!

My mother-in-law is the best sort of in-law. She is kind, loving, and supportive. She raised my Jonathan to be a wonderful man, husband, and father. We are so excited to live close to her. She is a wonderful friend to me and has done so much for us. We love you Mom!

And our beautiful birth mom, where would we be without her?! She is a dear friend, and we love her for who she is as a person and what she has given us. Our birth mom is an example of sacrifice and love, and those are very motherly characteristics. We love her.

And so here I am, my first Mother's Day as a mother! I always thought I would enjoy being a mom, and I really do! I am so happy as Samantha's mom. Sometimes I get tired, but Sami is patient with me. She is literally an angel in our home. I feel so blessed to be able to stay at home with her, this is a blessing that not many women have. She is our sweet heart, and we can't imagine life without her.

I think Mother's Day is really a celebration of the divine qualities in women. So to all the good, beautiful women in our lives, our sisters and friends, those who have children and those who don't: Happy Mother's Day!
