It's mother's day. And those of you who know me probably have heard a thing or two - or loads about my mom. I could talk for hours about the things she has shown me and taught me that no one else could. I know all my siblings would, too. We are a lucky bunch.
I have never yearned to be like a person as much as I yearn to be like my mom. As I grew up I could never find fault in her - sometimes to my dismay. I always knew that if I was doing anything that my mom wouldn't do, I was in the wrong. Do you remember the WWJD bracelets and keychains that were the absolute bomb in Jr High? I remember looking at my hot pink beauty one day and thinking that if it said WWMD, you'd come up with the same result. With my mom, I have never doubted that. I always saw her as the epitome of the perfect woman, and I knew if I followed in her footsteps, that I'd inevitably following the Saviors' as well- for she never strays from His path. I wish for her to be at the front of the pack when He comes again... but in my mind I know better. She'll be the one in the back helping to carry everyone else to the front.
Cheers to my mom, my example, my angel, my friend. I love you.
Not trying to kill the mood or anything, but I must document that I saw a bumper sticker that said WWBBD? Out of guesses? What would Brian Boitano do... *cricket* *cricket* ...
(And no, friend, I wouldn't know where you could buy one.)

Your mom is one amazing woman! Such a great example to all. She is talented in so many ways and is always giving and helping others! Hope that you have a great day today!
I hope your mom reads this! And my favorite WW_D are the David Hasselhoff shirts, that have WW(small picture of DH's head)D on them. Nice.
It's obvious that your mother was wonderful... look at her daughter! :)
I also wanted you to know I'll always remember what you wrote last Mother's Day... encouraging others out there who were trying to become mothers... it meant SO much to me, and now this year I AM a mom! :)
