Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. And I’ve been thinking about what it means to a be a mother and wife and daughter ~ But more importantly what it means to be all three. Of course all women/girls are daughters; they’re born and they have mothers. And many women become wives and I suppose even more become mothers (who really needs a husband?).
I’m blessed to have all three in my life; my mother, my wife and my daughter. And each of them is in fact a mother, a wife and a daughter. They share much in common; these three women. The common thread is their love for our family.
Mom:
I love that you taught me how to pray and have faith in God.
Deb & Mom
I love that you love Dad (and he still adores you, too).
I love that all of us inherited your sense of humor (even though Dad thinks he’s the funny one).
I love that you always look pretty; I have always been so proud to be seen with you.
I love that you love Deb as much as your own daughter.
I love the example that you set for each of us to follow.
Deb:
I love that you are most giving, loving person that I have ever met.
I love that you are the most natural mother in the world ~ you knew instantly what Tyson needed when he was first placed in your arms ~ and you still do. Ditto for Bess and Blake.
I love that you have made whevever we’ve ‘hung our hat’ a home and filled it with your love.
I love that you’ve made me laugh everyday of our lives together (even though I’m the funny one).
I love that you are like a lioness when it comes to protecting your children and grandchildren.
I love that your beauty on the outside is ‘trumped’ by your beauty within.
I can’t imagine my life without you.
Bess:
I love that you are the best parts of your Mom and me (mostly your Mom).
Deb & Bess
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you mothers out there. Remember none of us would be here without you!
Peace,
Denis
