I think the best word I could use to describe my Mother would be giving! *She is so giving of herself, always willing to pitch in, wither it be time, service or money she is willing.
* She is so giving with her calling, not many RS Presidents run all over town getting things signed and delivering food, visiting and cooking and cleaning for women of their ward.......she does, and with the right attitude.
*She is so giving to her children, she babysits, helps clean my house, supports me when I am sad or having a hard time, still will pick up the pieces
when I mess up or take to much on! She is giving to all her children, all in different ways, I'm probably the most needee of the bunch!!!
*She is so giving to her grandchildren, she is picking them up, dropping them off, donating to there schools, paying for their piano lessons, cheering at their soccer games, holding them for shots ( when their own mother is to wimpy!) loving them and playing with them, and being an example of what a women should be!
*She is so giving to her husband ( my Daddy!) She cooks for him in the middle of the night when he's been out late doing church work, or any kind of work! He'll get home at 11 and be in the mood for cookies and she jumps up to make em, because she wants to and because she loves him!!!
She is so giving of her body, she had been in lots of pain in the last couple of year...(it makes my heart sad) but does that slow her down...not a chance, she still holds my baby when it kills her wrists, vacuums the church when her feet hurts so bad they feel like they might fall off!! The list is endless!!
She is who I want to be...no women loves like her and is so selfless
with their giving, never asking for anything in return! Plus is so fun!! What other 50 something year old goes wake boarding, hiking, rafting, riding any ride we can talk her into, swimming in the freezing pool, running with her grand kids at their jog a thon in front of other adults...she is just so much fun!! I love you Mom with all my heart, I know WE came the long way but Heavenly Father knew what he was doing when he sent us all to you!!!
Thank you for always
giving!!!
