Mother's Day!

My mom is an amazing woman and someone I truly admire. From tennis star to antique collector to painter to scrabble expert, from nurse to relief society president to YW leader to nursery leader, her skills and abilities are too many to list. I've always looked up to her and aspired to develop myself in the ways she has developed herself.

Even more impressive to me than her resume-like qualifications is her ability to love. She genuinely cares about people and is able to quickly and easily demonstrate her love through a kind word, a small gesture, or even just a smile. When people meet my mom, they can't help but love her in return.

How can you thank someone who gave you life and then willing gave up much of her life to raise you and give you the best chance of success and happiness? It's a tough job, but it's one I hope to tackle each day by living the way she taught me and by telling her as much as possible how much I love her. Thank you for all you do mom!

Happy Mother's Day!!
