I have been overwhelmed with love for my mother. She is the most selfless, patient, kind, and giving woman that I know. I have been so lucky to have had the opportunity to live in Virginia Beach and be so close to my family. My children have been able to witness my mothers amazing ability to love and serve. Right now, my parents are in the middle of selling their home and moving my grandma and grandpa who live next door...all at the same time. My dad is in Utah working and waiting for my mom to close things off here at the beach, and my mom has been lucky enough to have my brother Kevin live with her for the last 4 months to help with all that needs to be done around the house. He's been a huge help to her but will be leaving next week so they are trying to get as much done as they can before he takes off, as she will then be without a big strong man to help her on a daily basis. Moving my grandparents is to say the least....a huge job and my family that resides here is doing all that they can to help. I know she gets tired...but she doesn't stop. She continues even when she doesn't feel well! My girls adore her and are always excited to go to her house and always sad to go home. Thanks for being such a wonderful mother to me and such an amazing grandmother to my children. I can't even go a single day without talking to her atleast 3 times on the phone! She is a joy to be around I love her very much!
A few weeks ago, John was noticing that I was in need of some real sleep so he sent me off for an evening of relaxation with my mom! He told me to take her out for dinner and then had me spend the night over there without any children so that I could get a full nights rest. It was so fun and a great break. I came home the next morning to a love note from him and another one from the girls. They also made this great sign for me to enjoy all day long. Thanks John!
