Home Is Where Mom Is

I just wanted to write a post to tell the world how much I love my mom. She has been through so much and stayed strong through it all. She is one of few Mormon moms I know who had two full time jobs; she always worked full time as a nurse and took care of her family. She has been an amazing friend, provider, protector, teacher...in one word, MOTHER. And even as, one-by-one, her children have grown up and started lives of their own, she has still made a point to be very much involved in their lives.

In more recent events, my mom has had a big hand in making things possible for my little family. Chad and I were recently in a little fender bender where the front end of my Subaru was smashed in just a little bit (not enough to do any mechanical damage to anything except possibly the radiator but enough to make it unsafe to drive for the time being). The car is in my mom's name and she has been paying insurance on it. We have been meaning to get everything switched over so my mom doesn't have to pay insurance anymore but it just hasn't happened. And now, because my mom was willing to keep paying insurance, we can get my car fixed without paying a ton of money. What an amazing blessing that is!!!

And even right after all of that, my mom is making it possible for me to visit this beautiful place! And my family and friends that I miss so much! And HER! I love my mom soooo much and I am so very grateful for all that she has done throughout my life. I think the saying "Home is where Mom is" will stay true throughout my life. For those of you reading this, tell your mom how much you love her! Heavenly Father truly blessed the lives of all His children by sending them Moms!
