Happy Mother's Day 2014

Happy Mother's Day

I miss my 

Mommy.

 Today is always a tough one for me because she's an ocean away, and I always wonder if it's worth it being so far away. Only 

mothers and daughters

 understand the complexities of their relationship with each other; 

the love is surpassed by nothing.

Supernatural Bond

My mother's love is the strongest magnet ever created - even when you need some space,

she can't help but be there.

 Still, the ESP factor is very cool. If I have a bad day, or feel anxious about a workshop, she always seems to know, and she'll call to make sure I'm okay. Sometimes I'm standing in a 'shady' neighborhood waiting for a bus, and she'd call "something just told me to call you" - who knows what those calls save me from! 

Total ESP!

 I'm a full ocean away!

 I am so eternally grateful for my mother.

I hope that you all have a lot to be thankful for, today, because of your mom and the women in your lives who've stood as mothers with you.

My Mommy Friends

To my friends and family who have become mothers,

I can't wait to join you!

I beam when I see your baby pictures, and even when you talk about the senselessness of

operating on no sleep while talking about how great they smell.

I marvel when I see how quickly your babies turn into toddlers and adolescents, and

I wonder how your hearts cope

with the ever-changing boundaries and sharp minds as they grow. I see it with my own mother.

Thank you so much for sharing your moments with me!

I've learned so much in preparation for my own, from you, and as much as I know every experience is unique,

I'm grateful I'll have you to share it with!

Great Memories

My granny's not with us, and I miss her terribly. She, like my Mom was

 one who couldn't help but be there,

 so this is also a tough time for my Mom.

Too many of my friends are in this boat, today

 - to you, I send my love as well, and lots of huge hugs - and I pray that you have a million great memories to hold on to, even in this moment, that make you smile.

My Mommy

My mother is an information technology (IT) manager, so she's all to aware of security risks and privacy breaches with open source technology and other such dangers. As a result, despite my sudden urge to

share her with the world, boast about her beauty and rave about her passion for her children,

I must refrain.

Please, Please, appreciate your loved ones all year 'round. One day can't be enough.

Happy Mother's Day 2014

Happy Mother's Day

I do not live anywhere as near to my Mommy as I would like - yes, you saw it, I wrote

"Mommy",

I only have one, so I can use that word all I want - so this day is always a tough one for me. Only

mothers and daughters

understand the complexities of their relationship with each other;

the love is surpassed by nothing.

Thankful

I am grateful to my Mom for always being there. Even if not always in the ways that I want her to be, her love is the strongest magnet ever created, and

she can't help but be there.

If I wake up at 2:00AM with a bad dream, or a reeling mind, she will always call the next day to make sure that I'm okay.

Total ESP!

I'm a full ocean away!

I am so eternally grateful to God for the mother He has given me.

Thank you, LORD.

I pray that you all have a lot to be thankful for, today, because of your mom and the women in your lives who've stood as mothers with you.

Great Memories

My Mom's mom is not with us, and because she too was woven into the fabric of my being - and more so of my mother's being -

as one who also couldn't help but be there,

this is also a tough time for my Mom. It's great that my brother lives near, but to have a daughter far away and missing your Mom is not easy.

Too many of my friends are in this boat, today

- to you, I send my love as well, and lots of huge hugs - and I pray that you have a million great memories to hold on to, even in this moment, that make you smile.

In Christ

God has continued to demonstrate His unfailing, never-ending, unconditional Love for me throughout this year, and for that I'm grateful. One revelation I've had was of Christ's love and passion for women and all the ways He honored women. God Himself, in the Old Testament, even

demonstrated the value of a Mother's decisions, if we care to pay attention.

He's sooo drawn me into the knowledge of the importance of motherhood - to HIM. I have always told my mother what I'd like her to pray for, because

God always seems to listen to her more than to me. Lol.

My Mommy

As an information technology (IT) manager aware of security risks and privacy breaches with open source technology and other such dangers, my mother would not be pleased if I threw a picture of her up here. So, despite

my sudden urge to boast about her beauty and her passion for her children,

I must refrain...

...but she's awesome!!!

Happy Mother's Day, everyone! Make sure you show your appreciation year 'round.
