happy mom's day!

Yesterday was the day that we all work extra hard to try and find the words and actions that express how much we love and appreciate our moms... I think this year I have been thinking harder about this than usual. Its not that its been hard to find things about my mom that I love... in fact it is quite the opposite problem. Watching her graciously take all the tough stuff that's come her way has been inspiring! I know that going from taking care of your family, to somedays having to allow your family to take care of you would never be easy... but still, she somehow manages to make it easy on us. I know that when the time came for her to ask my dad to shave her head, that it took amazing strength to be out in public, head held high. And I know it takes an incredible amount of trust to look into the eyes of us, in her family to mirror back to her the true beauty we can see radiating through her both inside and out! Someone once told me mom's were tough... and he was not lying-they sure are! Mom, you have been an inspiration to me! You always have been... and I want you to know that you will continue to be on both your best and worst days! I love you!
