Happy Mother’s Day to the best Mom a kid could ever hope to have. She has always been kind, hardworking, and selfless. She always put taking care of me and my Dad above her wants and needs. She created a home for our family that was peaceful, loving, and cozy to grow up in. I’m one of those kids that had a wonderful childhood and it was the hard work and commitment to our family that my parents had that gave me that. I never wanted for or did without anything ever. When I was a kid my Mom would work an extra job around the holidays for the sole purpose of surrounding me in presents on Christmas morning so that I looked like ET hiding in a closet. I never went a day without being told I was loved by my Mom and Dad. I knew growing up I was loved unconditionally and my parents would be proud of me no matter who or what I turned out to be. When there were rough times I never knew. The fridge was always full, and we never missed a meal. As an adult, I now know how difficult parenting can be. I realize why putting our children’s needs above our own is so important and gives us joy. I have used my parent’s example to help guide me in keeping this home going, needing to be a Dad and fill the traditional role of a Mom at times. I now appreciate everything my parents did for me even more that I’m behind the curtain. My Mom is still there to support me emotionally, give me advice, and help when I need it. I could never truly explain how much I love and appreciate my mother, but I try to let her know as often as I can. Happy Mother’s Day!I love you Mom
