Happy Mother's Day

Megan, Mom, & Me; Megan's wedding day - June 12, 2010

Happy Mother's Day, to the most wonderful mother of them all.

We've had our ups and downs. Our twists and turns. Good times and bad times. We've shared tears of joy, tears of sorrow. You've watched me fall, stumble, break, crash, and burn. You've seen me at my very worst, you've seen me struggling just to make it through, you've seen me fail and fail, over and over. Yet you never gave up on me. You were there when I nearly collided into death. You were there when I was destroying my life. You cried when I continued to hurt myself. You suffered with me as I tried to overcome the challenges I faced. You helped give me courage to fight. You shared your strength when I was weak. You're not perfect, and you don't claim to be. You're strong, successful, and smart. And you never stopped believing in me. When everyone said I couldn't, you said I could. When I thought I wouldn't make it, you knew I would. You've instilled in me Christian values and morals, rights and wrongs, and showed me how to give. You show me God's love. You're a kind, caring woman. And although you push my buttons and you drive me nuts, you love me with your whole heart and I know that no matter what I do, no matter where I go, you're always going to be there.

Thanks for being one heck of a Mother.
