All this while faithfully serving in callings & working 2 days a week!<br /><br />I hope I never have to be as unselfish as her, but I know she'll completely support me if I do!tarablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512718401074698521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-2839688525973718042012-04-20T22:33:07.961-06:002012-04-20T22:33:07.961-06:00I love that my mother showed through example how t...I love that my mother showed through example how to find happiness in the small beauties of the world around her.

Maybe I will win two instead! If not, I am going to buy some...promise! They are too cute and I love the idea of writing prompts. <br />My mother died unexpectedly in January. So of course, I am flooded with emotions and memories of all the great things that made her my mom. All I can say is, she was always very encouraging and positive to me. I am a 'new' mom and it was always so nice because my mom wasn't like the others (who always dispense advice - that I didn't ask for). No, she would listen to me, and she always had an encouraging response. I think her best advice was to trust myself as a mom because "you know more than you think you do," and to always be happy for my babies, because a happy mom = a happy child. She obviously lived those words (she had 10 kids!) and we are all happy and blessed because of her.HAShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06448286139555866055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-11064866420422871092012-04-20T17:54:36.414-06:002012-04-20T17:54:36.414-06:00Once when I was that inbetween age of really going...Once when I was that inbetween age of really going all out for a Halloween costume and "it's not cool any more to go all out for a Halloween costume"... I sat crying on my bed the night before the big school parade! Nothing was right/good/working. The next morning my mom shows up in my bedroom with "the queen of Hearts" costume made from one of her old formals (that had been hiding somewhere in her hope chest).

Called my mom in tears, and she reassured me. The next day, she wrote "I put money in your account" and she sure had (from her retirement savings... sacrificial giving). I was able to get another (new-to-me) car the next day. She deserve a nice little something for being a great mom :)sunnyhttp://sunnysblog.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-87692280263679563192012-04-20T15:59:25.789-06:002012-04-20T15:59:25.789-06:00Beautiful comment.Beautiful comment.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12161992150598076332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-1240002590360867812012-04-20T15:56:44.518-06:002012-04-20T15:56:44.518-06:00One of the best things about becoming a mum is my ...One of the best things about becoming a mum is my own mum becoming a grandmother. I've never seen her so happy. There's a vague familiarity in her cuddles and games and songs that must come from old memories from when I was a toddler. I feel some sense of pride in having had a role to play in creating the lovely relationship between my mum and my daughter, although I really had very little to do with it. How could they not love each other from the start? They have the same eyes, the same hands, the same sense of humour and I love them both more than I can put into words.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12161992150598076332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-66502904188216957882012-04-20T15:09:52.104-06:002012-04-20T15:09:52.104-06:00My husband possesses many qualities that I love an...My husband possesses many qualities that I love and admire.
