Thankful{s}

My heart is full of L.O.V.E. for these two women:

{Spencer's mama - Kalle}

{My mom - Lisa}

14.  Mothers.  I have always felt incredibly blessed to call my mom, "mother".  There is no other woman on earth that has effected me the way that she has.  She has been my hero through and through and I love her with all my heart.  

I read articles of children abandon, alone or just motherless and I feel this sense of guilt.  They will never know my mom.  They will never have her daily phone calls, prayers, laughter, love, advice or testimony in their lives.  Guilt, I tell ya.  I know that most, have a present mother... to love and nurture them.  To love and care for them.  For that I am grateful.  And for me I am happy to have my mom.  She, like my father, is perfect for me.  

Let's talk about my mother in law - Kalle;  whom is utterly amazing.  She cares for me and mine in a way that only a mother can... and I am not truly "hers".  She has taught me many things; that I have needed and used since learning.  She has brought up a son whom I am gaga over; she is as well.  :)  She devours my children, and loves them unconditionally.  She has a heart of gold, and has become one of my most favorite people. She is simply, again, the best.  How thankful I am to have her in my life.
