my mom is the best. everyone always tells me that. guys, i KNOW. she is my mom, ya know.
but seriously. she is. she raised 4 kids all on her own, worked two jobs at one point to make ends meet, never missed any of our extracurricular activities (soccer, track, dance, church, whatever), and was always there for us.
all of us kids call her, constantly. or text her. or email her. or IM her.
all of the girls in her young women's classes have loved her.
she's a great teacher, friend, not so much a secret keeper, but she loves to talk about her kids' accomplishments.
she's always so proud of us, no matter what we do.
she doesn't judge us, even when we mess up, or do something she wouldn't have done (or something she did do, once upon a time)
sometimes she tells me that i'm a lot like her when she was my age, and that's okay with me.
i'd like to be able to eventually raise my kids the way she raised us. none of us really strayed or got ourselves into trouble, and that's pretty good.
she loves to dance, and although sometimes we get embarrassed, it's pretty funny most of the time, and secretly i think we all love it :)
Love you mom!
