Momma

"Now I shout it from the highest hill, even told the golden daffodil ... you are the most amazing mom EVER!!" :-) (She played Calamity Jane in her high school musical.)

My most favorite memory of her was when she sang Secret Love at the top of her lungs -- while driving an old motor home to Ninilchik. :-) I will NEVER forget it! It was loud!

When a lot of my friends would complain about their mothers, I never did. My mom was super-great. I would have felt like a traitor had I tarnished her mother name! I always felt devoted to my family, over friends, any day. My loyalty was to my crew -- my family. I feel the same way now, and I am trying to teach the same thing to my children. :-)

I love you momma! You are the very best of women. I am so grateful God decided to send me to you! :-) Thank you for teaching me how to love. Thank you for teaching me how to make a house a heavenly home. Thank you for teaching me how to hug. Thank you for teaching so many things, just by being you. As I look back now as a mother, I appreciate you a million times more! I am grateful for your example to me, and draw from it whenever I need to. :-)

I LOVE YOU!!!!
