Mom,

I thought you deserved your own personal post on the blog (If you are reading this and you are not my mom, that’s ok, but the intention is for my mom.) You may have heard these words before, but they are still 100% true.

I just wanted to thank you for being such an incredible mom.  Your unconditional love and support means more than you will ever know.  There are a few things in this world that I have never been able to doubt and my mom loving me was one of those things I could never doubt.

And I am so excited for you to become a grandma. There is no doubt in my mind that you are going to spoil Jordan and be the best grandma on the planet.

Before I end this letter, I want to thank you for…

  • Changing my diapers when I was a baby.
  • Tucking me in at night.
  • Leaving the door cracked or the nightlight on when I was scared.
  • Buying me Dinosaur and baseball sheets.
  • Reading Bible stories to me before bed.
  • Letting Dad buy all those baseball cards.
  • Letting me get my big sister in trouble.
  • Watching all those soap operas so that I had to go outside, play sports, and be active.
  • Making incredible fruit salad and sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving.
  • Christmas stockings!!!
  • Cleaning up my messes.
  • Letting me use you as the reason I couldn’t do something when I really didn’t want to anyways but didn’t have the guts to say that.  You never minded taking blame in that situation.
  • Letting me read to you after taking Lesley to SSMS.
  • Letting me go on my first date even after the Cutlas was wrecked and we had a rental.
  • Not letting me have a TV in my room.
  • Our Thanksgiving trip to Ensenada.
  • Always getting me what I needed and most of what I wanted.
  • Not making church optional growing up.
  • Loving and accepting my wife as your own daughter.
  • Showing me what it is like to be a hardcore baseball fan.
  • Letting Kate live with you & Dad so she could stay in the family.
  • Being an awesome grandma to Gaby and Stella (and soon to be Jordan too).
  • Thanks for already buying us all the important baby stuff.
  • Supporting Heather and I in our move to OKC.
  • Most importantly, thanks for leading and pushing me towards to God.  By far the most important thing you have done for me is laying the foundation of faith that has completely transformed my life.

I love you, Mom.  Happy Mother’s Day.

On a normal work day, I really enjoy going home to eat lunch and hang out with all three of my girls: Heather and my two dogs (Gaby and Kate). When I was there today, Gaby and Kate secretly pulled me over to the side and wanted me to share a Mother’s Day letter they wrote for their mom – Heather. They had been on the Internet this morning and read my letter to my mom and they were inspired. They told me that they wanted to write a letter to their mommy. Here’s their letter to Heather:

Dear Mommy,

We just wanted to take the time to thank you for being the best mommy ever. We know that we are pretty much the most spoiled, diva dogs on the planet, and a lot of that responsibility comes down right on you. Thanks for giving us the lives we want – and frankly, we deserve. We have come quite accustomed to our way of life and you play a large role in that way of life. Frankly, we are completely dependent on you - largely because we have no thumbs. Anyways, we wanted to thank you for…

  • Giving us treats every time we go potty – something we would do anyways.
  • Giving us treats every time you leave the house – something you would do anyways.
  • Giving us the yummy pieces when you cut an apple.
  • Helping Gaby up on the bed when she’s too tired to make that big jump.
  • Taking us for walks where we pull you like a rag doll.
  • Letting us cuddle and act like 60+ pound lap dogs.
  • Picking up Kate’s poo when she can’t hold it any longer.
  • Grooming, bathing, and maintaining our hotness.
  • Putting up with Gaby’s slime.
  • Buying us trendy, cool collars.
  • Giving us the occasional chicken bone.
  • Giving us the occasional Denta-bone.
  • Playing rope with us.
  • Giving in like a sucker every time Gaby sits pretty.

Honestly, where would we be without you?  It wouldn’t be a pretty site.  We love you, Mommy.  Happy Mother’s Day!!!

Love,

Gaby & Kate

Happy Mother’s Day
