Happy Mother's Day!!!

Mother’s Day Poem For My Mother In Heaven
Mom, we miss you so very much on every Mother’s Day;
And not just then, but every minute of every day
since you've been away.
You were the center of our lives before your soul passed on;
It’s just so hard for us
to believe that you are really gone.
We celebrate the life you lived & all the things you gave us;
Our wonderful memories, Mom,
of you are the things that will comfort and save us.
Please think of us, as we think of you
with hearts so full of love;
We’re looking up at you, sweet Mother,
as you look at us from above.

Mother's Day is a special day. Mother's do so much for everyone and never stop and rest. I believe that being a Mother is the most difficult & rewarding job. I am looking forward to the day I am able to take on the role as a Mother. I give all you Mommy's out there props!!!
Mother's Day is also a difficult day for me because my Mother passed away 20 years ago this coming June. It was 2 days after my 6th Birthday. I don't remember much about her, but what few memories I do have of her I cherish deeply. She was a wonderful woman, and she chose an amazing Father for us!!
Yesterday Randy & I spent a little time with my Dad and then we headed to his sister's house on Rathdrum Mt. His three sisters, their kidlets, and his Mom & her boyfriend Randy were all there. We had a BBQ & played some fun filled games. I thought that I have met some competitive people in my day, but Randy's family puts them all to shame!!! They were playing spoons & his sister Amy flew across the table at flying speeds to snatch the spoon from my hand!!! I love all my in-laws!!! Hope you all had a great Mother's Day as well = )

I loved reading this and your sweet thoughts about your Mom, Nicole. I have just a few good memories of her myself. I loved when you guys came to our house and she'd sit out on the front porch with me and let me read books to her. What I loved is that she'd actually really listen too, and comment on the story.
I also loved in the winter when we'd all come over to Grandpa's house and sled down the icy street (even though now I think about it that was SO dangerous!;) But I loved how she would make us soup and sandwiches when we came in from playing.
And I can still remember her laugh. Your laugh sounds a lot like hers.
Happy Mother's Day Grandma.:)
