Today is mothers day and yet I spend it thousands of miles away from her. As I’ve grown into an adult I’ve come to love and appreciate mom more than I could ever really express. She supports me through life, the ups and downs of the staff experience, I have the assurance that she is always a phone call away to help with anything from cooking to a deep question about life and my future. She loves me and tells me often. She calls me every Saturday (well most Saturdays, unless she is out shopping or with Aunt Carolyn). She’ll do anything for me or Kirby, loves to take us shopping and she is the most wonderful cook in the world (aside from Dad, they are the top 2 best cooks that I know). I’m thankful for you mom, and if you figure out how to read this blog (just kidding) I hope you’ll know that I wrote it with a heart full of love. I can’t wait to be there with you, to hug your neck (and even to scratch your back if you want). I miss you! You are the best mom to me and Kirbs. I love you momma.
