A Secret Strength

My mom...............where do I start with her (heehee!) My mom and I have always had a great relationship but as I have gotten older I have truly learned to aprreciate her and all that she sacrificed for my brother and I to be successful. I have learned to cherish the true friendship that we share.It is funny when we were growing up I always thought my dad was the strength behind our family. After my dad passed away I realized it was their strength together that held our family together. I am amazed at the true strength and courage my mom has displayed over the past five years. She is thoughtful, caring, loving,compassionate,and a great friend. I know how hard the holidays are for her and I appreciate her courage to make sure all her grandchildren are provided with the same amazing experiences and traditions Toby and I shared in as children. So I hope during this time that is about family and love.....my mom knows that I love her dearly and appreciate all that she does!
