I've always loved my mother and appreciated everything she's done for me. But I've never appreciated her so much until I'm about to become a mother myself.I'm grateful for the values she's infused in me since I was a kid;
I'm grateful for her example of being kind, virtuous, hard-working, selfless, and wise;
I'm grateful for her high expectations on me and her faith in me;
I'm grateful for her good example of being a good daughter to her parents and in-laws;
I'm grateful that she was always home with a delicious meal when I came back from school;
I'm grateful that she truly understood the meaning of womanhood and motherhood and prepared me for it;
I'm grateful for all the sacrifices she's made to make me who I am today.
On this special day, I so wish I could be home with her to cook her a meal and show her how much I love and appreciate her.
I also feel so blessed to have John's mom in our lives. She's already been a great example for me in so many different ways. I'm sure John feels the same about his mom as I about mine.
Happy Mother's Day, Moms!
