Ode to my MOM


I have the best Mom anyone could have. She is a perfect Mom to me. She has always listened to me, comforted me, and is the one woman I can ALWAYS count on to do whatever I need. I can call her at anytime and can seek advice without feeling judged. Even when what I want to do or what I am doing is not something she would do or approve of. Her quirks bring smiles and her so-called grass-hopperness make her...well her. The memories I have of her are ALL good. I have no bad memories...only a few times she over-reacted to something that was later apologized for. (Hey, I am keeping it real) All my friends love her and she was the mom everyone wanted to drive with on field trips; she always stopped thru a drive-thru on the way back to school. I love to make fun of her sentimental-ness...I was given a statue of a mother and daughter for graduation and said in all seriousness, "no really where is my real gift?" That one makes me laugh even as I write this! How do I put in words how great she is?
Dear Mom,
You were the best Mom anyone could have. You did your job well. You taught me of Christ and his infinite love for us all. I was/am loved. I was prepared for life (as much as one can be) when I left home.
Thank You,
Stacy
