Thanks for my mother

When I was a little girl, my mom was my role model. I always said that when I grew up I either wanted to be an archaeologist or a mommy. :) I played dolls and house all the time, and she would play with me sometimes. She also taught me to read and to appreciate the beauty of nature and to write thank-you notes and to sing alto.

When I was a college student and young single, my mom was my confidante. When stupid boys/men-who-acted-like-boys would break my heart, I would call her and cry and she would comfort me and encourage me and sing, "Cheer up ye saints of God." And I always knew she was praying for me.

Today, my mom is my friend. We talk on the phone almost every day, telling each other things big and small. I hope that in her lonely times, I comfort and encourage her. We're always praying for each other.

I'm so very thankful to have her. I love you, Mama! Happy Mother's Day!
