You taught me to love God and seek him first in everything I do.
You taught me that a paycheck is just a paycheck and you can't put a price tag on the things that really matter.
You taught me to forgive and to love unconditionally.
You showed me that there is no limit as to how far family will go to help one another.
You showed me that loving others is showing love for the Lord.
You taught me that not everything is fair.
You taught me to give until I can't give anymore, and then to give more anyway.
You taught me that its ok to stand up for myself.
You taught me that its ok to cry when I need to.
And to be able to laugh at myself.
You showed me that I can do and be anything I want to be.
You showed me how to be a wife.
But today above everything else, I want to thank you for teaching me how to be a mother.
