MOTHERS DAY!

Once upon a time there was a beautiful young lady,























who gave birth to two beautiful girls,
































(I'm the cuter one on
the left in the photos...lol)












who gave her 5 beautiful grandchildren
































And these are the reasons I love her

1. Patience: Lord Almighty who else could drive from Charlotte, NC to California with 3 kids and 2 dogs in a pick up...with one daughter (take a guess who) with her feet in her lap and singing her lungs out to her walkman. I mean really...how many times did you hear "We got the beat" by the Go'Gos?


2. Love: For letting me make my mistakes (does the name Keith Simms ring a bell?.. for that matter how about the entire year I was 16.


3. Faith: For always believing that I would eventually realize my mistakes! Some of them I still won't admit to!


4. Compassion: For being my shoulder to cry on, vent on and just take about any frustration I have out on.


5. And finally....for telling me constantly that you love me and that you are proud of me........


THE FEELINGS MUTUAL!!!
I LOVE YOU MOM......HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

You are incredible. As a sister, mother, daughter, and all around as a person. You are fiery and feisty and wild and crazy and I love you. Thank you for making me teary eyed and I bet you got mom flat out crying.

I love your post! I love how you did the pictures and it really drew me in to see what was next! Your MoM was so pretty. Great hair!

I had a 45 of the GoGos song and new every word. We must be about the same age.

Hello! Thanks for stopping by my blog...we'll definitely look for a wrought iron dress form. I'm starting a list of people's requests. You've been added, although it could take awhile...but you just never know!
