My beautiful mama is celebrating her birthday today. She is sincerely generous and giving, the way only mothers can be. Being newly-wed makes me think of her often; I imagine her as I prepare meals she taught me how to cook, as I do the laundry and use the detergent she always bought, as I scrub the kitchen sink and then wring the rag out really, really well, just as she always insisted we do growing up, so it doesn't mildew--my hands look like hers when I do that.
I'm so grateful for her example of loving kindness. She is my unfailing cheerleader and sacrifices time, money, and her heart in order to help anyone in need. She seeks joy in small moments, soaks up sunshine like a kitty cat, and loves green, growing, lush landscapes. She is full of life and leaves people feeling revived; she sends people off with a hug, always, that shakes a little energy and happiness off on the person she's embracing. Mothers determine so much of what the world becomes, their influence is far reaching. I'm very blessed to have been taught and raised by this amazing woman, and she blesses me to this day.
I love you, Mama Llama. Thank you for all that you are! Have a fabulous day today!!
