Mom’s Birthday

My sweet mama celebrates her birthday today 💜 She is someone I aspire to be like in many facets of my life.

Of course I want to be a mom like she is. She exudes love and warmth and gentleness. She values all the little events and milestones that come along. She teaches all along the way, as I desire to do for my children. There is never too much love with my mom.

I also desire to be the mother in law that I see she is to my husband. She has a beautiful balance of contribution and love, all the while letting us make our own choices, and supporting them all along the way!

I want to be a friend like my mom. I want my friends to feel my love through my intentional actions. Just like hers do.

And I want to not go grey until my 60s, because how cool is that?!

I so very dearly love you, my sweet mama 💜 Thank you for teaching me all you have, and for continuing to do so. I don’t know how you found the perfect line between being my mom and my close friend, but you crushed it, and for that – for YOU, I praise the Lord.

Well my sweet darling girl, I am so honored and humbled by your words. Thank you, Hailey. Thank you. We both acknowledge the Almighty Power of God in all of it. Right!
It is an absolute delight and blessing to be mom and grandma. God has really blessed us, hasn’t He sweetheart!
He has also blessed your children with amazing parents that are invested in them and love them with all of their hearts.
I love being your mom and friend. Thank you for accepting me as both and loving me as both. What a precious gift that is!
I love you dearly, with all of my heart!
