Four years and three decades ago a woman was in the hospital. She was no Ordinary woman, she was the mother of my Fabulous, Loving and (occasionally) Sensitive husband. She brought a baby boy into the world that day...and later that noble act of selflessness would bless my life from the day I met him, clear into eternity. She raised him with values. She taught him about love, reading, respect, honesty, virtue, goodness, service, kindness, sacrifice, God, baptism, missionary work, cooking, and how to tell a good joke. She laughs still when he says the word balls (yep for the very reason that makes me cringe...and they both think they are so funny.) Butts are also a big joke and she is DEFINITELY the perfect mother for boys. Her father (who is in heaven and we miss so much) used to keep me laughing and laughing, I miss him so. And from him, she received many fine qualities...humor and hard work are among two of the most important...they have kept her together during hard times...and they work as a pretty good team. Today I could honor the birthday boy. And I do celebrate him all day! But he gets the whole month of November for anyone that follows my status updates...
So today I HONOR the woman that gave my man life. I love her. I respect her. I am indebted to her for giving me such a priceless treasure. (Lest you think "she's so lucky, he sounds perfect" I assure you, there ARE days I think of throwing that treasure overboard. But most days I am EVER SO GRATEFUL FOR HIM...and always I am grateful for her!)
#328 Reason I see the hand of Heavenly Father in my life...He blessed me with a wonderful second Mother.
Make it a great day! ONLY YOU CAN!
