It's my mom's birthday today. I don't think anyone could every know how much my mom means to me. Moms are amazing. She goes through so much. For me and for all her kids. She is the one who makes the whole show go on. She is the most caring, and loving person I know. She puts up with all my midnight phone calls and all my drama. She comforts me from miles and miles away. People always tell me how much I look like my mom. And how alike we are. That is one of the best compliments anyone could ever give me. But it's true. We have so many of the same characteristics. The same features. The same interests, and talents. But if there is one thing I hope I can do just like my mother... It is to serve the way she does. To treat others with the same love she does. To be as Christ like as she is. She is the most incredible example to me. One day, I want to be like her.
Mommy.... I wish I could be there with you today. I wish I could hug you tight right now. I love you mom. Today you are one year more beautiful than you ever have been. I really am... the luckiest girl in the world.
Happy Birthday Mommy.
Love,
Psycho Baby
Sweet Psycho Baby...
ReplyDeleteI tried three times to respond to this amazing tribute on my birthday and every time my post would vanish into thin air! I hate it when that happens! I hear it only happens to those over 50 yrs old! Not fair!
Anyway...you made my birthday so very special!!! Reading your post was the greatest gift a mom could ever ask for!!! Better than a book, an elaborate gift, dinner, even chocolate!!! It made me cry all my makeup off and now I have puffy eyes for my special day! But I don't even care...is there anything special about being 50-something???
I miss you so much my heart hurts if I think about it too long! I know that I am supposed to scoot you out of the nest and encourage you to fly...but part of me just wants to keep you right under my wing.
I am so very proud of the amazing young woman that you have become. You have a heart the size of TEXAS, yet you have a strong and independent spirit with a strong sense of commitment! That trait you got from your father. His most admirable trait is his commitment to do whatever it takes to live his life on this earth in a way that his Father in Heaven would be proud. He has a deep love for the Lord and his family and it shows in everything that he does.
You have taught me so much and I am so excited that you have the courage to do what I only talked about doing. You are going to be an amazing mommy some day...I couldn't pick a better one for my future grand children! :)
Thank you for your shining example and for just being the amazing young lady that you are. Thank you for loving me and and putting up with all my psycho traits...and for making your parents proud!
Here's a little hesitant nudge for you to continue to fly...to soar! I love you Whitney Lane! xoxo Psycho Mommy
