Because I was convinced at 13 that you were the worst mother in the world.
Because at 16 I didn’t need anymore friends - STAY OUT OF MY LIFE ALREADY!!
Because you sat with me in the waiting room of the Women’s Health Clinic, and didn’t push me about why we were there.
Because you laughed when I got my tongue pierced, and didn’t roll your eyes when I showed you my tattoos.
Because you only yelled once when you learned you’d have to give up your dreams for me.
Because you walked the halls of Allen Hospital with me and stood in the corner when they passed the baby around.
Because you let them walk me down the aisle, but stood up alone when it was time to give me away.
Because you told me moving was a great idea, and hid your tears when I drove away.
Because I wake you up at 6:45 every morning so that we can talk on the phone, although you’re not a morning person.
Because you’ve been there when it mattered, and stood aside when it mattered most.
Happy Mother’s Day Mom.

Love this…I’m feeling like I need to tell my mom more often how awesome she is, but glad I have today to tell her “officially”.
May 11th, 2008 at 4:50 am
Awwwww that is so sweeeetttt!!!
May 11th, 2008 at 5:59 am
And to you, my darling.
Who made the circle complete for me.
Who taught me about love that stays.
The only person on the entire planet for whom I would willingly “go shopping”.
And who looks eerily like my own mom when you stick your little chin out.
I would not be whom I am without YOU baby.
I hope you realize that.
I love you. I miss you.
Thanks you.

Hope you both feel loved and cherished today.

Happy Mother’s Day Britt. Your mother doesn’t look old enough to be your mother, more like your sister.
May 11th, 2008 at 10:45 am
Very sweet :).
Happy Mother’s Day to you both!

Can you promise me that my ungrateful spawn will love me like that? It was a bad weekend ’round here.

How sweet and how beautiful! I wish I had a mother like that!
May 12th, 2008 at 10:56 am
It sounds like you have a wonderful mother, unlike my controlling, backstabbing “mother”. Anyway, good for you.
May 12th, 2008 at 11:46 am
Wow, your mom looks like she could be your sister. I hope she had a great day. What a wonderful tribute.
