This is a woman. {a Mother's Day tribute.}

In honor of Mother's Day,
{a little late because we were all out of town}
I want to tell you about the woman I
have the honor of calling
my mom.
♥

This is a woman who has more friends than I can count.
.
This is a woman who adores her 9 grandchildren even more than (or every bit as much as) she adores her own children.This is a woman who became a single mom at the age of 34. {I'll do the math for you: I was 15, Valerie was 14, Ron was 12 and Tim was 7.}

This is a woman who sacrificed for herself in order to clothe and feed four hungry, ornery kids/teenagers and we had fun while doing it. {Ok, so it wasn't all fun, but we definitely grew up to be a fun bunch of people.}
.
This is a woman who found out four months ago that she has cancer. {She just had her fourth round of chemo and could really use your prayers.}

This is a woman who spent Mother's Day this year with all four of her children for the first time in 20+ years. {I'm pretty sure that's why she's glowing. :o) }

This is a woman I love very deeply.
You would too if she was your mom.
