Ky + I RUSHED Mom back from Vegas to get her to her birthday party on time.
(Well, technically she drove because she’s the fastest, but whatever.)<\/p>\n

I get teary eyed thinking about the love I have for my Mom.
It’s difficult to put into words how I feel because it seems like it cuts it short every time.
I just know that if I can turn out half as wonderful as she is, I’ll be okay in life.
My mom is my very biggest fan + I am hers.
She believed in me, before I believed in myself + she has molded me into the Mother I am today.
I love the way her eyes crinkle when she smiles + her hiccups when she laughs really hard.
She loves her family fiercely + she puts all of her faith in Christ, letting Him do the rest.
My mom loves my dad so much + I admire the strength they gain from each other every single day.
She encourages kindness + is the most genuine person you will ever meet.
She loves her parents, caring for her mother + she loves her grandkids. She loves everyone she meets.
She keeps her word + knows how to work hard. She just gets things DONE.
She doesn’t make me feel embarrassed when she comes to my house
+ the laundry has been through the wash a time or two too many because it was forgotten about.
She just gets to work without being asked + leaves our home spotless every time she leaves.
She gives me strength EVERY Sunday morning when I’m in tears trying to get the kids to Church.
I am ever so grateful that she taught me to love the Lord through her faithful example.
She has never given up on me, she is my very best friend.
She will tell you she’s not perfect, but in my eyes, she is pretty dang close. <\/p>\n

I love you, Mom, for more reasons than I could ever explain.
Thank you for being mine! xx<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
