Happy Mother’s Day!
Instead of a traditional Mother’s Day card, I decided to do a Mother’s Day blog to honor my own sweet momma. Although I give my mom a hard time when she still treats me like her “baby,” I appreciate her so very much. She was always supportive of me in whatever I wanted to do, and she still is.
I remember being a little girl and feeling sick to my stomach. As mom was comforting me, I got sick all over her. I felt so bad. I may have been four years old. I remember her not caring one bit and just feeling bad that I was ill. That was one of the first moments where I really stopped to think about how much she truly loved me. Fast-forward to my pre-teen years. Before a dance, I had my hair done. Well, somehow I ended up with a big brown football helmet of a hairstyle. I was in tears, and my momma scoured the very limited number of stores in our hometown to find a pretty hair clip (it maybe was $15, but at the time, I remember thinking that was too much money). Then, she stayed on the phone until she found someone who was willing to “fix” my brown helmet. It may not seem like a big deal now, but she was determined to help me through my “big crisis,” or so I thought at the time. She never once acted like it was silly.
Now as an adult, I still depend on my mom sometimes. One of the most recent times is right before Will was born. It was still two weeks until my due date, and she was on call to come whenever my doctor felt it was time. Before I ever heard word from the doctor, she instinctively knew that she needed to come on to Birmingham on a particular day. She even knew best when she asked me if I was going to put my hospital bag in the car. I, being stubborn, told her that no, I hadn’t, and I’d have time to get it even if I had to have Will early. For the record, she was right; I was wrong!
Today I want to give a big thank you to mom, from Brian and Will too, for everything you do. We love you and look forward to seeing you soon. Thanks for putting up with me and my hard-headed ways! I hope I can live up to the example of motherhood that you set for me. Love you!
