My Favorite Person

This past Sunday there was a holiday that focuses on honoring the most precious and valuable person in my life... my mom.

Mom's have this beautiful position in life to where they are a guardian, a safe place, an encourager, a best friend, a teacher, and many more roles.  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful woman, who is all of those roles and so much more, as my mother.  

I work with children and meet all different types of mothers that have various parenting styles.  There is nothing wrong with those mothers or their parenting styles but I can say with out a doubt in my mind that I could not imagine or fathom having anyone else be my mother besides this beautiful woman below.  Look at her!  She is breathtaking and she is my favorite person on this earth.

She is constantly compassionate.  She is forever nurturing and teaching.  She sees a person and sees their worth, their heart, and their potential.  She cries at commercials and when she is reading a good book.  When she laughs, it is infectious.  You cannot help but to laugh right along side her.  She gives the best advice and will listen to me go on for hours about absolutely nothing.  She loves Neil Diamond and Elton John.  She makes the best cup of tea.  She never fails to say exactly what I need hear when I need to hear it.  She gives the best hugs and she has never let me down.  Ever.  She makes me want to be better, wiser, stronger.  I would be lost without her.
