Happy Mother's Day!

The most Beautiful Mom in the world!


I am so blessed to have such a wonderful, loving, giving and great Mom. She is the best mother a girl could ask for. In fact, if I don't talk to her at least 3 times a day it's not complete! JK! She has true motherly instincts when my kids, husband or I am sick. Mom is the first one on the door step with all kinds of meds, food, sprite, gatorade and helping hands to give where she is needed. She is the greatest nurse a patient could as for.




She gives without expecting anything in return and she reminds me so much of my Memaw. The things she says and does with my kids reminds me so much of me and my sister with my Memaw when we were little. She never tells them no and she looks for ways to rearrange her schedule to see them and spend time with them at every opportunity. I love the excitement in my kids faces when I tell them GiGi is coming over or GiGi is on the phone and wants to talk to you. My kids know they can always get whatever they want from GiGi because she NEVER says no!!! Those are the things that remind me of my Memaw and I am glad she passed that on to my mother so that my kiddos have those same sweet characteristics in their grandma.



Hope you have a Happy Mother's Day and know that you are loved!

Thank you, honey, for the sweetest words! How honored I am to be thought of as being like my mother! You're right, she never told you kids "no", but that's grandmas. They do everything they can to see a smile on their face and the excitement in their eyes! I, too, don't know how I could live without talking to you a few times each day! I just have to make sure my little chicks are all right. And about me bringing food to you when you're sick...You've done the same for us when we were sick, just like Memaw, and I love you for it. You're a great mother and I'm so blessed to have such a sweet close mother/daughter/best friend relationship with both you and Amber. I thank God every night.
