Mother's Day Love

I'm always happy for this day because I have been fortunate to not have just one awesome mother, but many "second" momma's to help me out and give me inspiration too.  This day was even better because Mom is here visiting me for the weekend, and we also got to visit my sister (who is a soon-to-be momma!!).

Moms are women who don't always get the attention and respect they deserve.  They go out of their way to provide, protect, and help us out when we lose our way.  My mom has brushed my hair, wiped my tears, heard me yell out of pure frustration, and given me support along the way.  She's a wonderful inspiration, and I hope that I get to be an awesome mother just like her one day.

I also have to thank my grandmother, aunts, and the other women who have shaped my life.  I've been blessed with a multitude of women who have also given me their love and support.  So, today, I salute you.

I found this song a couple weeks ago and immediately fell in love with the words.  It is a beautiful tribute to all the amazing mommas out there.  Here's to your day!

She's the sky that holds the clouds
She's the lady of the house
A blind believer in all I dare to be
There's no safer place I've found
Than the should of her white night gown
Oh I've got the best and the worst of her in me
I'd share her if I could

Oh the wars would all be over
'Cause she'd raise us all as friends
And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them
We'd walk on grass that's greener
And our cares would all be freer
If the world had a mother like mine
~The Band Perry, "Mother Like Mine"

A few of my inspirations:

Mom and Me

Carolyn and Me


Granny - such an inspiration and beauty!




Mrs. McKinney

Tammy


Ending with a blast from the past - my mom and me way back when!

The House

Every time I walk to my bedroom, I look in the room that used to be my grandmother's bedroom.  I look for her bed and her laying in it ...
