Lots of Love on Mothers Day!

Well today is one of those bittersweet days! I love mothers day cause it's a day to think of my mother and all she taught us and how much she loves us, but it's also a hard day because I think of the loss of my mother, and that I don't have her here to teach me and to love me! But today I've been making the sweet out weigh the bitter. I Love my mom. I Love her for raising eight kids and showing us all unconditional love. I Love her for showing us what Love is! I Love her for the countless hours she put towards helping me with homework. I Love her for making me delicious breakfast, even if I didn't always eat them. I Love her for always having a warm homecooked meal on the table. I Love her for teaching me the importance of keeping family together! I love her for her genuine kindness, and her unconditional love! I Love her for teaching me to appreciate being outdoors and her love for hiking, everytime I go for a hike I think of her in her red shorts with her damp bandana! I Love her bright blue eyes! And her beautiful warm smile! I love her voice! I Love knowing that she is right her beside me helping me along my own road of motherhood! I hope I can grow to be a mother with the qualities she had! I love you mom!

I have been blessed with so many other sweet moms in my life. I am so grateful for mama Walburger! I'm so grateful for the wonderful woman she is, and for the wonderful family she raised. I love the Walburger's! I love being surrounded by so much love. Gary and Shellee have raised 5 amazing children and showed them how to love! I'm especially grateful for the values they taught Luke. They taught him how to work, how to serve, and especially how to Love.

I have also been blessed with Grandma Karie! I'm so grateful we have her in our life! I'm grateful for the happieness she brings to my dad, and to us! It's fun to see her with all the grandchildren. She was blessed with 18 instant grandchildren and she loves them all unconditionally! And they love her!

I could go on and on about the mothers in my life. I have 4 beautiful amazing sisters and 6 beautiful amazing sil's that when I needed my mom the most they stepped up and took the stress of planning a wedding alone off of my shoulders, and made a beautiful day for Luke and I. I have wonderful aunts that are always there for us when we need them. I have 2 amazing grandmas and Luke had 2 amazing grandmas that are and were so supportive in everything we did. Any sporting event, they'd be there. I guess it all boils down to me remembering the sweet! Remembering the wonderful Mothers in my life and their wonderful examples! I love you all!
