I love Mother's Day! I love seeing my social media flood with pictures of and wonderful sentiments about mothers. I love seeing my girls get so excited about celebrating the day with me and the wonderful breakfast they help make. I love spending the day thinking about the role I play in their lives and the role my own mother played in mine. Nothing brings me more joy than being a mother and raising my children. Children embody everything wonderful attribute I hope to possess. They are kind, forgiving, meek and humble. I feel so blessed to have their Christ-like example in my life and feel of their wonderful goodness everyday.
"One cannot forget mother and remember God. One cannot remember mother and forget God. Why? Because these two sacred persons, God and mother, partners in creation in love, in sacrifice, in service, are as one." Thomas S. Monson
My grandmother was recently diagnosed with Alzheimers disease. It breaks my heart to see her mind slowly deteriorate and her spunky personality become calm and sober. But she still remembers me and last weekend at Nate's wedding she came up and gave me the biggest hug. I always feel so loved when she is around. My grandma has a wonderful ability to spread love and cheer where ever she goes. I know its probably not true but I swear I am her favorite! That is how she always made me feel and I will never forget that.
