It is this lovely ladies birthday in just a few hours...and if you dont know who this is, then I feel sorry for you. Because she is the nicest, smartest, most beautiful, funny, compassionate, loyal, selfless, creative, wonderful woman I know.
Oh, and shes my MOM!
I know I'm one lucky girl to have a mom like mine. I absolutely love and adore everything about her and I pray all the time that Zuri will love me like I love my mom one day.
She's pretty much my best friend and the first person I call about anything good, bad, or ugly. I can depend on her for anything in life and so can anyone else that comes in contact with her. She's pretty much a universal mom to everyone. She knows how to comfort people and always is completely level headed, understanding, and full of the best advice.
When I gave birth to Zuri and finally got to go home from the hospital my house was spotless with new comfy pillows on our bed, washed baby clothes, and a fridge packed full of yummy groceries. Not only did she do all this for me, but she slept on the floor of the nursery and would get up with the baby so I could get a good nights rest. She would bring the baby in only when she was sure Zuri was ready to eat. My mom did this for five whole nights....FIVE. Its just kind of woman she is I guess. So, you can understand that when she had to finally leave my house I was a total wreck....balling my eyes out. Im not kidding. She only lives 7 minutes away. Stupid, right? ...I know, I know.
I just love her being around though.
Soooooo...HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! Thanks for being such an awesome mom and giving me a really good example to follow. I appreciate all you do for me and my little family and all the time and effort you put in to making our whole families life wonderful. You put joy in everything in our lives.....and yes, I know its your name and you always thought it was weird, but I think Joy is your name for reason. You make everyone around you happy and my life is what it is because you are my mom. Ohhhhh....and not to mention you're a total babe. See....
I love you, Mamasita! Happy Birthday!
She is absolutely amazing! I love you both!
ReplyDeleteMy perfect, wonderful, beautiful, loving, kind, fun and amazing daughter..... THANK YOU! You made my day with your words, your actions and by just being you! We really are blessed to have each other to share this life's journey. I've always said we were best friends before this life ever began and needed each other for this adventure. You mean the world to me and you know I would and will do anything for you. I love the Mama you have become and having Zuri share in our lives just makes it perfect! You will have the same type of relationship with her because I see you work at it everyday. I know how much you love her and it makes me smile because I know you can begin to understand how much I love you! Thank you for a wonderful birthday and for just being YOU!
