So as I celebrated Mother's Day with my moms yesterday I was amazed as I sat back and realized all the have done for me. I'd like to take a min to say thanks for each!
First off my own mom is such an amazing example of hard work and selflessness. She never says no when you ask for help and will put everything she has aside she has planned to help you with whatever you need big or small. She is always been such a strong example to me and I have looked up to her so much! She has always made family her number one priority and I hope to be able to be the same! She would always push off wanting to go on vacations with my dad and they would make time to come watch me in all my sports their priority! I still don't think they have gone on a vacation the two of them since their honeymoon! We have continually grown closer the older I get and the more we have talked and become more like best friends! I tell my mom pretty much everything and we talk more than once daily! (Andin always teases me for useless phone call-but I just love to chat!) I love my mom so much and cant imagine not having her in my life!
Next my mother in law Sandy! We are like giddy school girls when we get together! Her laugh is so contagious and we get laughing and just cant stop! She is so fun and always smiling! She also raised Andin and made him the man he is and I will be eternally thankful to her for that! And in gets alot of his carefree attitude from his mom where things don't tend to stress them out easy and they just take life as it comes which I really appreciate!
My Grandma Dene is also amazing! I was able to live with her on and off in my young single adult life and we always had fun! She would call me at work to check if I had would be home for dinner and in many ways was my second mom! She would always ask me how I was doing and we spend alot of time watching evening TV together! I have alot of memories of the great support she has been throughout my life and I feel so fortunate to know someone as Christlike as her.
Grandma Jazzy- with the legs I would die for! I remember sleeping at her house every Friday night growing up and making buns with her on Saturday mornings. We spent alot of time together over the years and she was always there for me whether it was needing somewhere to go when a friend ditched me or coming to all my games! She is such a strong active woman and I hope at her age I can still walk all over town and do my own work without a sweat! She is amazing and I love her to bits!
Jade- She is my sister but many times felt just like a mom! She is 5 years older than me so whenever I had problems or questions she was the first I would ask! She is such an amazing mother and a strong woman I don't know what I would do with out her (well I wouldn't be hooked on Days of Our Lives that's for sure!) We really are the best of friends and can vent to each other about anything and know the other will sit back and listen even if they might not agree. I know as me and Jade continue to get older and have kids together we will only get closer and closer! I dread the day when I have to move away from her and can't see her as often as i do! I love her tons and am so lucky to have her as my best friend!
All my sister in laws- If I wrote on each, this blog post would be much too long! They are all amazing each in their own way. Each with their own set of skills but all are amazing moms! I am so fortunate to be able to have so many to look up to so when I have my own kids I will have learned from the best! And that is such a comfort to know that!
Thanks to all the women out there in my life that I am able to look up to I haven't mentioned each person that has had an amazing impact on my life but there are so many from coaches to teachers to church leaders the list would go on and on.
George Washington said it best:
My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.
Love, Kenz
