Tonight I folded my comfiest pair of sweatpants, the ones you got me for my trip to Guatemala. Tonight I held tight to a blanket, the one you gave me. Tonight I wish so badly I could hold you instead of that blanket, but I can't.
Mother's Day is tomorrow. While we often had our differences and there were many valleys, you taught me so much. Thank you for the work ethic you helped to instill in me. Chores before play, always. Thank you for taking the time before that dreaded Sweetheart Pageant to teach me how to round brush my hair (people still compliment that blown out look :) ). Thank you for helping me to remember to appreciate simple things such as a good pair of sweatpants and a super soft blanket. Thank you for loving me the best you knew how. Tomorrow, I have so many wonderful women to celebrate, and I praise God for each of them. There have been so many women who God has used in my life! But it's sort of like when I was little and would spend the night somewhere else. I would be ok for a while, but I soon wanted Momma. There was such a comfort in your presence. Happy Mother's Day to you, Mom. Tonight, I'll celebrate you with sweatpants and a blanket.
