Happy Mother's Day to....

....My beautiful,lovely, brave, strong, caring, always-there, Mom who was both my mom and my dad. Thank you for always being there.

...to my mother-in-law who raised the tender, sweet, loving man who became my husband. You did good!

...to all the mothers who made it possible for mothers who might otherwise not have been mothers. Without you our kids (and I a mean it in a we are both their mom way) might not be here today.

...to all my momma friends who have supported me through the last couple of years and more importantly the last couple of months. Even though some of you are still waiting for your kids to come home, or have struggles of your own with your kids you alway stop and take the time to listen to me.

...to all my momma friends have kids in far away places...you are mothers whose hearts are missing a little piece of you but you stand strong for your kids even when you feel don't have much strenght left. The love they will recieve when they are finally in your arms will be amazing!

Happy Mother's Day to all you beautiful Mamas! Your job is not easy but you all do it with grace, humility, compassion, and love!

I am inspired every day by all the Mamas in my life!

A Wee Me and My Beautiful Momma

My cousin sent me this picture of me when I was wee with my beautiful momma....she would have been about 24 and I would have been about 3 I think.....

My mom also had some old video footage she had my cousin convert to dvd - it is such a trip seeing your mom and you when you both are both so young....it makes the heart swell.

My mom has always been there for me - thru the good and the bad I know I can count on her.

She has been my mom, my dad, my sister, my friend....she shaped me into the woman I am today.

I love her more than she will ever know!

Thanks beautiful momma of mine - I love you!!!

Cute Videos

Oh alright already! I can't stay away...well as it turns out my Grandma D is now nicely settled at home with my Auntie B who flew into town and who is taking good care of her so I have the week off :)..but not from work and so I sit at my computer and can't stay away!

My friend sent me this cute video



and this one too



Now if two guys can foster a lion and he still remembers them a year later after being the head of his pride...and a dog can feed kittens, and a cheetah can mother a monkey...well I think I have a pretty good chance of being a good..no...a great mom too...

I hope when we bring our wee one home "it will just be what I do" - mother instinctively...something in my heart tells me I will!

Cue me crying - sniff!
