Happy Mothers Day!!!!

I just want to say Happy Mothers Day to every mother out there!!! A special shout-out to my own mother who is my best friend, who has shared many happy and sad memories with me, who has held my hand through tough times, who has been patient with me during my teen years, and who has been by my side every step of the way and is still there for me when I need someone to talk to... I love you Mom!!

Also, I wanted give a shout-out to my mother-in-law who has been there for me since I live far away from my family. She has been there to help me become the wife that I am to my husband, to keep my faith strong, and to always serve others. She has been so patient and very kind, and very welcoming since I joined the family. I could have never asked for a better mother-in-law! I love you Jill, and thank you for everything!

One last mother I want to mention is my Mama, my grandmother! She has cared for since the day I was born, has looked after me when my parents were busy or out of town, and who has been there for me at all times. To this day, she still treats me as her first lil grandchild and I just can't express how much I love her deeply. She's the greatest mama ever! I love you Mama! 

Here's a poem that I found and want to dedicate to my mothers...

How do I tell you, from this daughter
Oh mother of mine, who couldn't have worked harder
To make my life, as best as could be
How much your loved, for loving me

Things you wanted, so many times
You put aside, to help me and mine
Even when I was growing up
A back you never turned, a door you never shut

How do I tell you, how much this means
Oh mother of mine, who always beams
With a loving heart, with open arms
Caring for all, with all your charms

You made life, so very good
For me you did, all you could
You cared for me, through all bad times
Your loved so much, oh mother of mine
