Today, I Will Tell Her

Any present I give my mother on this day seems inadequate, and is never on time. I want to show her what she means to me. However, no object on this earth could properly convey my feelings. The new Hallmark commercial I keep seeing made it all clear. I will TELL her!

I will tell her...
God gave me the Best Mother in the whole world!

I will tell her...
I am hard on myself and question many of the decisions I make. But, because of the incredible example she set for us, Missi and I know, deep down, we are excellent mothers.

I will tell her...
I am happy, because that is all she wants for me.

I will tell her...
I have her "look" down pat, both of them actually. The one that made us say, "oh crap, I'm in trouble!" and the one, without a single word through the sparkle in her beautiful blue eyes, told us she loved us more than anything in this world.

I will tell her...
I hear myself say, "Because I'm the mom, that's why," and "If a frog had wings, it wouldn't bump it's butt." I dance around the kitchen and embarrass Alice. I lick my finger and wipe chocolate off Ford's cheek. I stopped a random mom the other day and asked if I could borrow her daughter. She was my neice's size and I needed to see if a shirt fit. I will talk to pretty much anyone, anywhere. I love to sew and watch birds in the back yard.
I am becoming my mother... And I LOVE It!

I will tell her...
I don't call as often as I should, but I think about her every single day!

I will tell her...
I am proud to be her daughter!

Happy Mother's Day to the most amazing mother ever!!!!
