After being on the road again for an obnoxious amount of hours today (just about 8 I think), I am of course exhausted and just want to pass out. My eyes are heavy and only want to close. All I can think about are the mountains to the south and that I will be driving to them tomorrow morning. One more day away from being in Yellowstone once more. :) And boy am I excited.
But unfortunately this go around this year has inhibited me from being home for Mother's Day like I was last year. So I will miss Mother's and Father's Day. :(
For the occasion, I thought I could blog about my mother, in only the most positive way possible. :)
First off, I would never ever ever ever trade her for any other mom in the entire world ever. The amount she has invested in my life is a debt I could never repay, except only in the lives of my children one day. I hold her with high esteem against other moms I know. I'm way beyond lucky to have her.
She exhibits UNCONDITIONAL for both Sarah and I. Only a handful of people do that for me, and she's by far the best at it. No matter our differences, she still loves--there's no doubt about it. From her I receive my compassion, my strong will, my independence, my love of adventure, my kind heart, the peacekeeper in me. Anything that I have inherited from her is positive.
She may be 5'3" and stolen some inches from me via the hereditary gene, but I would give everything to keep her. She's my momma and there's no "buts" about it. I'd rather not share, but then again there is Sarah, haha. Both of us, mom has loved from the very start and done her VERY best to make sure we have all that we could need and even want.
Though far apart these last few years, we still get in the time to talk and grow closer together, even if it is in sporadic spurts. Our bond, though strong now, seems to be growing ever tighter. And I enjoy that. I enjoy having a mom stand by my side no matter what.
I wouldn't trade her for anything, and I could not imagine ever losing her. I hope that she understands how much I love and appreciate her with all of my heart. She's everything the word amazing could stand for. I only hope that you could meet her one day.
To you momma, and all the wonderfully, amazing things you do daily for me, like grabbing me this hotel tonight to rest my weary eyes. :)
I LOVE YOU. :) <3

ReplyDeleteMy Love for you and Sarah is strong because He first loved me. As the days, months, years go by I am beginning to understand that a daughter's love is beyond measure, and sometimes we do not realize how much they love their mothers until God reveals it as in your post!
Thank you Laura for telling the world how much you love me! I struggle at times trying to comprehend the depth of a Mother's love, and I am very thankful to our God for allowing me the priviledge of being a Mom to you and to Sarah.
I would never trade the title of Mom for anything this world has to offer, and I know I will continue to love you and your sister unconditionally for ever!
Enjoy your rest in Billings and your summer in our beautiful country, and remember, seek Him and all things will be added unto you! :) I Love you forever and eternity, Mom
