Mothers

Mother's are incredible and I've been raised with an amazing mom and been lucky enough to be surround by great mom's everyday. Here's to all those mom's who do everything for their children and still manage to look amazing. Here's to my mom who taught me to be myself and do the things I truly wanted to do and to also be a happy person. Here's to my sister Abby who makes me envy not being a mom, she is tired and works so hard but she still has time to make that boy of her laugh. Here's to my aunt Jo for taking me into her home and always being a person I can talk to. Here's to my Grama DeSpain who had such a great sense of humor and her soft hands. Here's to my mother in law Jean who will do anything for her children and never thinks of herself. Here's to my cousin Marta who has shown more of herself through being a mother, she is happy to change her name into mom. Here's to my aunt Marty who has given me endless advice and puts light on difficult situations. Here's to my Grandma June for showing me how to sew and was such a classy woman. Here's to all of my aunts, cousins, friends, sisters, sister in-laws who have taken the role of being selfless and are so incredible. You have all been such great examples and I can't wait to join the crowd someday. Love you all and Happy Mother's Day!

WHAT???? No mention of the person who understood your true 'feelings' back in the sleepover days? Who sat on the bed for hours and talked about "buried treasure" and looked at 'door art' of Abercrombie guys? Who shared her expensive shampoo and discussed boys named Trevor?

I guess I've been relegated to 'gnome' status—just an old, forgotten, imaginary friend. It's OK. I don't feel TOO bad...
