Sweater, n.: garment worn by child when its mother is feeling chilly

Mothers! Is there really anything more wonderful? I know it has been forever since I posted and I will do an update soon, but right now I just want to talk about my mother. I can't even begin to express all my thoughts on what my mother has done and means to me.

I haven't been the easiest daughter these past few years, traipsing across the world from one country to the next. You just never know what I am going to do or where I am going to end up. But whether I am at school in Idaho, nannying in England, slaving in Waterton, studying in Lethbridge, or working in Virginia, I love calling home and just talking to my mother. She has always been a support for me in whatever I am doing. I can be having the roughest day, and my mom just somehow makes it all better.

Whenever we get together, it's always a gong show. Mom, remember our travels down to Rexburg to pick up my school stuff. Or when we went down to Echo with our TV dinners! Even a trip to Lethbridge turns into a crazy event. I will always remember our "clubbing" together in Utah and helping the lady find her way to the hotel with our GPS.

She is an amazing mother and grandma. If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands? My mom is the epitome of serving others. She does so much for other people. I will always remember my mom working so hard to fulfill her callings. It is impossible for this post to do justice to all my mom has done for me and others. I love her like the dickens! Heavenly Father knew I needed her for my mom.



I love you mom!
