What an awesome day! Let me first say that I have been blessed with the best mother in the world. She gave me life; the chance to be my own person; she taught me the true gospel and instilled in me her testimony; she gave me the ability to love and to serve. I love my mother so much and wish I could be there with her today with the rest of my family.
I am also so thankful for my mother- in-law. She instilled in my husband these same qualities and I fell in love with him. Thank you for letting me marry your son and for teaching him how to love a lady. I am so blessed to have you in my life.
And even more so, I am thankful for the children that call me mom. My husband made me their mother and he is my best friend. I could not ask for more beautiful, kind and helpful children. They put up with a lot from me and love me still the same. I was blessed with a wonderful meal from them, dishes being washed, a lovely walk and a night of fun games. Not to overlook any of that, but the highlight of my day was to talk to Cortnie. She is so sweet and I love her tons. I can not believe how well she looks and how beautiful she is. The spirit just glows in her. It was so wonderful so see her face and to hear her voice. The hour went by way to fast. I feel like a wound has been re-opened and I hope it does not take too long to heal again - for me and for her. She cried so hard when it was time to say good-by and we finally just had to push the button. How I pray someone was there to take her in their arms and hug her for me. I so wish I could have done it myself. I am so proud of her and love her so much....but it does not take away the pain of having her gone.
I am so proud to be a mother...I would not trade it for anything in the world.
