Mother’s Day

I want to take some time and honor my mother today.  Here are some things that stand out to me the most about her:

• I know beyond the shadow of any doubt that she loves me to death.  I feel it every time I see her.  She has always put her children first, and I am very appreciative of that, even though I don’t show it as often as I should.
• I have never doubted her devotion to Christ. She always made sure that a strong grounding in faith was a top priority for all three of us.
• She is the best household manager I have ever seen.  Even though I always give her a hard time about her obsessive organization and cleanliness, I know that I will be a much better husband and father because I have learned how to shoulder some of the responsibility of running a house.

Mom, you are the greatest I could ever ask for.  We both know that I will always be moving forward with my life, but I promise I will make time to remind you that I love you.  Thanks for being my mom.
