I got a letter from my mom the other day. We're about 14 hours apart now that I've moved and we miss each other so much! She's such an inspiration to my life!! We've (her, my brother's and I) have been through so much together. Seriously.
What an awesome mama! Her faith just blows me away. She's come such a long way from where she used to be and I'm just SO proud of her. We can talk for 2 hours sometimes while I'm cleaning or cooking, etc. (Good thing she's on my Friends and Family plan!) But whenever I need anything at all, she's just there. Especially when I can't find something in a grocery store, I can always call her and she tells me what aisle it's on so I can stop walking all over and looking crazy. Man, I love that. She's everything a mom should be; she gives me recipes, calls everyday, writes to me, listens before talking just enough, gives the best advice, and best of all she loves me and makes sure I know it. I wish I had more pictures on hand but they were all on my old laptop and Noelle spilled Cherry Icee all over it. We have yet to find out if anything is salvageable. I thought they were backed up on my external hard drive, but I guess not. Maybe I'll do a post and scan all our old pictures one day..
A piece of advice, call your mama and tell her thank you and you love her. Maybe even send her a verse or two. Even if you live close, it's still a sweet gesture.
You both have a true gift in the relationship that's been restored to you!
