happy mother’s day to all the moms out there reading this. today’s post is my mother’s day gift to my mom. for those of you who know mom, you are probably nodding your head in agreement to the idea of me dedicating an entire post to her.
the thing about mom that has struck me the most is the fact that she just simply is. she knows how to “just be,” and more often then not, that’s what people need… it’s certainly what i need. mom doesn’t try to be someone that she’s not, she doesn’t pretend that things are ok when they’re not, and she will be the first to tell you that she doesn’t have all the answers. and sometimes, not having the answer is the perfect answer.
mom has shown me that motherhood is the most difficult yet most rewarding job. in the last 24 hours, i have been amazed at how much a person that is so small can make you cry out of exhaustion and cry out of joy.
mom is my best friend, hands down. she is proud of her children and let’s us know that not necessarily through words, but more importantly, through her actions. over the last week that she spent with paul and i at our house, helping us with jackson, i would catch her just looking at me with jackson and smiling with total satisfaction. that simple smile told me just how proud she is of me.
i am a better person because of mom, and i will most definitely be a better mother because of her. how lucky i am to learn from her example.

happy mother’s day mom! i love you.
