21st Birthday-March 2008
High School Graduation-June 2005
Thanksgiving 2009
Our favorite time-Duck 2007
The word Momma is such a special word. It's a word that cannot be defined in small print in a Webster's Dictionary. It's a word that cannot be defined fully through verbal expression. Momma is abstract rather than concrete. Momma is not limited but overflowing.
Here's to the day that I celebrate my Momma. The strong woman who, if I did the whole best friend thing, would be at the top.
She supports me even when most of the things I do she'd never do. (AKA-I had a triathlon this morning on Mother's Day even when she does not "believe in them")
She listens to me when I tell her about my day even though I leave the room when she begins to talk about hers (I've gotten much better at this).
She prays for me even when I don't always pray for myself. How would my life be different had she not prayed?
She makes my bed for me because supposedly I don't do it well enough. I give in and let her express her love for me in this way.
She gives up her birthday every year to Relay For Life. I never see her on it, but she does volunteer to help me on her 'special' day.
She sacrifices her time to help me in anyway I ask or, let's be honest, demand.
She makes time for me because my schedule is independent from hers.
She takes care of my dog and Worth's repossessed dog. She calls them Anne and Worth and says they are her new babies. But, I'll always be her baby.
Most importantly, she loves me for who I am.
Moral of the Story: Mothers are precious and should be honored as Jesus proclaimed.
In a week, I will have short hair. I measured my hair last night while v-chatting Christina. I should be able to donate around 14 inches on Saturday at Relay For Life. It takes 6 donations to make one wig. So my goal is to make one wig before I turn 30. I will be donating my hair to Beautiful Lengths because they offer FREE wigs to cancer patients while the other donation groups sell there wigs. I was talking to a friend of mine who is in so much debt from her medical bills for cancer. I want to offer someone free happiness while feeling beautiful.
6 days before the big cut!
