A Tribute To Mom

Happy Birthday Mom!
Thank you for everything that
you do, I love you!

Top 10 Things I Love About My Mom:

10. Waking up Saturday mornings and always knowing that mom had made a breakfast buffet of eggs, pancakes or waffles,
bacon, and hash browns. Who wouldn't love waking up to that?

9. When all of us girls wanted to drive up to a Royal baseball game (two hours away) to watch our High School boys play, out of all the mom's we asked to take us, mom volunteered!

8. And she didn't even get mad when we got all the way up there and the bus was leaving because the game was over!...She then had to drive the two hours back to Burbank.

7. How much my mom cares for everyone! She has the biggest heart and whenever we go anywhere, we run into past patients she has worked. She'll then "always" stop and say hello and ask them how they're doing.

6. For the past 21 years she still goes shopping with me, even though I'm one of the hardest people to go shopping with on the planet!

5. She'll call the gaming stores every morning, then leave work early to drive out in the snow and freezing rain just to get a Wii for someone for Christmas

4. Standing in the dressing room, with a very expensive homecoming dress on, realizing you'll never be able to afford it, only to have mom say, "Alright just get it, but don't tell dad!"

3. Renting a tent the day before your wedding because you just have this "feeling" that it is going to rain

2. Always buying extra snacks so that my friends and I could have a variety of options for lunch and sleepovers. (Laurel could always count on Spaghettio's for lunch and being caught by Marilyn driving to my house without a license at the age of 15)

1. All of the little things she has done to motivate, support, love, and put up with me throughout the years. In the end it's all of those little things that make the biggest difference!
