Today will be the first Mother's Day that I have spent away from home. Since I'm half way across the world, I figured I would write a special blog for that special lady in my life! I fell like spending so much time apart in my college career has only brought my Mom and I closer together. Especially now with us being two worlds apart instead of just two hours, we've grown closer. There's not a day that goes by that I don't look at things from home and think of her, or check my email and hope to have a sweet message from home. In my junior year of high school we had to write a speech about who our hero was, and without any hesitation I wrote a speech about my Mom! Of course, I had to put a little history about how I came to live with her and my Dad so I cried a little and had most of the class in tears as well, but needless to say it was a moving speech. I think the one thing I remember most about my speech was when I finished saying "She is the strongest woman, I've ever had the pleasure to know, and has built a home from the ashes of two broken families." my teacher started to tear up because of my admiration of my Mom. And I know today, now more than when I was 16 that she really is the strongest woman I've ever met, how she does everything she does and still stays sane, is amazing. I can't say how blessed I am that God put her in my life, I really don't know where I'd be with out her! I can only hope to grow up and be half the woman that she is, that's when I'll know that I've done something right.
I can't wait to spend the summer with my Mom, and to start running 5K's with her and my siblings, it will be the perfect family affair! She always has the greatest ideas about family activities and I really admire that, I think that's where my closeness to my family comes from, I can't go a day without wanting to talk to someone from home. I do wish I was home sometimes just to be able to sit down and have a conversation with her face to face, instead of via Skype. Skype sucks, like really bad! But I know when I get off the plane on June 17, she'll be there with open arms and ready to pull me back into our crazy life at home just like I was never gone at all. I miss you everyday Mom, and I want to thank you for helping me grow and become someone you can be proud of! I love you with all my heart and I can't wait to hug you so big when I get home! I hope you have the best Mother's Day ever, and I hope you like your gift from Emma; yes, I know what it is, she spilled the beans already! I love you Mom, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, I'M proud of YOU!
