Mom

Unconditional love. Patience. Knowing. How Awe-some (stealing from my fav. Madeline L'Engle here) it is to be blessed by having a mother who is also a friend. Mine is soo kind, generous (to a fault), flexible, spontaneous, and probably one of, if not THE, strongest woman I know. It is so so hard to watch her struggle with her health right now, but she is even grace under fire. There are days when I don't know what I've done to deserve such a Mother and Mentor. If only I can be this Mom to my kids . . .
