it's Mommy Day!

So today is my first "official" (as Aunt Donna puts it) Mother's Day. Since last week, I have received flowers from my oldest step-daughter and my youngest step-daughter. I went to my mom and step-dad's this morning and took mom her card and gifts. This mother's day, I am just remembering how lucky I am to have my mom here. A couple years ago she was battling the nasty disease that seems like it runs rampit on my mom's side of the family, breast cancer. God kept her close to Him through the surgery and radiation. My mom is my best friend. She has ALWAYS been there for me, through good times and bad. I can count on her for anything. My mom is the type of mom that would give you her last dime if you needed it. She is one of the most selfless people I know. She is patient and kind. She is a wonderful listener and gives great advise. Not only is she my hero, she is the kind of mom I hope that I will be.
