My Mother...

Six months after my Dad passed away, my Mother and I were asked to sing a song in sacrament that before my Dad passed we sang with my sister.  I can never remember the title but I remember the words…
"I've watched you dear mother, each day of my life.  I've seen how you smile through the joy and the strife, I've needed your love and have known you were there, I've seen how you help to bring answers to prayer.  The world that surrounds me is blind and unsure but with you as my Mother, I'm safe and secure, then I wonder why and give thanks that I was chosen to be your daughter."
I cried almost the entire time.  It was a bit because I had lost my dad but mostly because my Mother means so much to me.  She is such an example of love, kindness, listening to the spirit and so many other things to me.  I am so blessed to have her as my mother.  I have not always been the daughter that I should be but I am still learning and hope that I can be.  I am so grateful to the Lord for having such a wonderful women as my mother and I had to make sure I wrote it.  I, like my Mom, am awful at sending cards!  Mom I love you!!!

Mimi "Selfies"

We like our animals in this house.  Madi says we have "Halloween" animals.  Yes I draw the line at amphibians at the moment.  We will keep the fur balls!

Mimi

My daughter is one of the most kind children ever.  She has a friend who has a snake.  Her snake wouldn't eat a rat.  She sent me a picture and asked if we could keep the rat.


I mean how can you say no when the creature posed for the picture?  Needless to say we have a rat now.  Madi says we only have Halloween animals.  I say we have weird animals.  There is a reason why "pack rat" is a phrase.  Mimi will grab all her things and hoard them in her hut in the cage.  She had at least an inch of stuff under her at one time.  I'm glad she stays in Madi's room and that we don't have a snake!!
