remembering mom


my mom
she is lovely in nearly every way and a little bit crazy in nearly every way too
she knows when to call me and when to avoid me
she knows when i need a hug so she'll send me a little squeeze through the phone 
she has been the glue that has held our family together when life seems to pull us apart
she makes me feel beautiful even when i've put on an extra pound or two
she makes the best tacos west of the mississippi
she used to tuck me in at night even when i was seventeen
she stays up talking to me when i visit just to squeeze every second out of every minute
she loves my girls almost as much as i do
she has a smile that lights up my heart and makes me feel safe
she has enough faith to move mountains and helps others move them all the time
she is the best she i know

happy mother's day mom...i love you more than words can say.
