This weekend is the weekend to celebrate, love, and show immense amounts of appreciation to your mother, and other motherly figures in your life. I think this is one of the sweetest holidays that we celebrate. I know that no mother is perfect, but I also know that every mother is a gem!
My mother is one of my best friends and I appreciate her so much. We used to not have a very strong relationship (because I was a little stinker in high school), however we are now like two peas in a pod! I love my mother with pure, unconditional love. She is human, but at the same time she seems like someone from a story- too good to be true. She's an amazing cook, and she's ruined our whole family! Not in a home-wrecker sense, but in a "I found Olive Garden's Alfredo sauce recipe online and I'm gonna play around with it" sort of way. She did play with it, and she made it better. NOW I GET NO ENJOYMENT FROM OLIVE GARDEN. But that's okay. We don't go there too often.
My mother is hilarious. I can't tell you how many time's she has made me cry from laughing so hard. She can also spit like a camel! Beware my mother when she's drinking water: she'll spit on you and she doesn't ever miss. No matter where you are, you could be right next to her, or on the other side of the room... she will get you with the water.
I love my mother's smile. Her smile can light up a room and cheer me up on even my darkest of days. No matter how upset I am, she always knows how to make me smile. She's fun, beautiful, a queen, a chef, remarkable, wise, and smart. She is my mother, and I am truly blessed to have her in my life.
I know a lot of remarkable women who are mothers who are being celebrated this weekend.
Susan Carpenter: my future mother-in-law. She's a joyous woman with one of the biggest hearts imaginable. i love her to pieces!
Jill Galyan: She's an inspiration and a role model to me. I absolutely adore this mother and her whole family.
Brittany Jones: She was one of my Young Women leaders, and a dear friend of mine who has shown tender motherly love, to not only her children, but to all.
Jennifer Arrington Cromwell: This is my friend's mother, whom, I feel is just as much my own mother. She's helped me cope through some hard times, and she's treated me as if I am one of her own children.
there are hundreds more that I can name, but I just wanted to highlight a few that I think needed to hear or read something nice about themselves. I love these women, and I love my mother. I hope that all mothers are getting treated like queens this weekend, and every day of their lives. They deserve it.
