Today is Mother’s Day, and in the area of mothers and women that we celebrate on this day I have been abundantly blessed. First and foremost the woman who gave me life. My mom is an amazing woman, always helping others and never meeting a stranger. My mom is the kind of person who will go out of her way to talk to people, because everyone deserves a friend. Whether it be a family member, person on her mail route or just a random person she meets in the bathroom; my mom can always strike up an conversation and make anyone feel valued and of worth.
I can’t think about mothers without thinking of my grandmother. Although she isn’t with us anymore my grandmother along with my mother influenced who I am today. She was an exceptional woman who loved God, her family and music. She spent over 50 years of her life teaching children to read. I considered her one of my best friends, full of wisdom and love for her “little darling.” Now that I am married I think I miss her more than ever and I have so many things that I wish I could ask her or talk about with her, but I know where she is and I wouldn’t want her to leave there for anything.
Lastly I have been blessed immensely to have an amazing mother in law. Some people dread visiting or getting visits from their mother in law, but I look forward to and enjoy both of these things. Drew’s mom has taken me in like I am her own daughter, and we have so much in common that the transition into the family has been so easy for me. I never felt uncomfortable or unwanted, and that was due in large part to her.
I feel overwhelmingly blessed to have an amazing mother and mother in law and to have had a precious grandmother. God blessed me so much and on this day and everyday I can’t help but feel increasingly thankful for these women in my life.
