Tribute to My Mother

I love that we have a day dedicated to mothers! I have been blessed to have many amazing "mothers" in my life. Today, I want to pay a special tribute to and brag a little bit about my sweet, earthly mother.

I feel extremely blessed to have been born to an extraordinary mother! To me, she is an amazing example of the Savior, always giving unconditionally. I am often amazed at what she is willing to drop at a moments notice to take care of her family. I know that she has sacrificed many of her own comforts and desires to take care of us and so many others.

My mother has more common sense and skills than any other person I know! Mom has developed and been given some incredible talents. She isn't afraid to try something new and is so creative and innovative. To me, she is the definition of a  strong, hard-working woman. They just don't come more amazing than my mom :)

Regardless of the trials in this life, she has been solid and faithful; she is a spiritual giant! I know and can never doubt what she believes in and is striving for, because she lives it every day. Mom always encourages us to be the best we can be and does it in such a genuine and caring way. I have really appreciated the relationship of trust we have.

I have always felt her support throughout the different experiences and seasons of my life. Her dedication to our family is inspiring. What she currently does and has done for me, is far more than can ever be repaid.

Thank you for your strength, your wonderful example, and amazing life so far. I consider myself extremely blessed to be a part of it. If I am able to become even half the woman you are, I will consider my life to be a success! Thanks for being the best mom and best friend a daughter could hope for :) I love and admire you!
