mothers.

so, as mother's day was just the other day i felt compelled to write a shout out.
i want to thank my mom for being overprotective, for being so hard on me over the past year, i want to thank her for everything she has told me whether i was in agree-ance or not, i want to thank her for still loving me through all the times she's wanted to pull her hair out because of me. i think most of all i just want to thank her for her support... she supported me in Maui, and when I've been home since. thanks mom for the gas money, insurance money when i couldn't afford it, thanks for the extra money in Maui, thanks for all the food and for giving me a place to call home for 19 years. thanks mom, for not giving up on me, and thanks for being a part of me life, and especially for being the Godly influence you should be as a parent, thanks for keeping me on the right path, and pushing me to keep my eyes on the Lord.

i know i've taken my parents for granted from time to time, but over this past year i have realized some people would love to have parents that have been half as supportive, loving and caring as mine. i love you both.

and mom, Happy Mother's Day... everyday.
