O: Original. Aren’t we grateful for a mother who is like no other? Aren’t we grateful that our mother didn’t let us eat sugar cereals and watch alot of tv growing up or stay out too late at night? Aren’t we grateful our mother never worked outside of the home? When it really comes down to it, heck yeah, we’re grateful! It’s been so fun to have an earthy, artistic and athletic mother!
T: Talented. Though mom has never worked away from us, she has had more occupations than you could imagine to do in a lifetime: nurse, secretary, taxi driver, beautician, tailor, gardener, cook, tutor, teacher, handy-woman, psychologist, and on and on… And she’s done it all with perfection and grace.
H: Heritage. Wow, what a wonderful heritage she’s brought to our family. We couldn’t ask for a stronger more solid and noble heritage.
E: Eternally indebted. That is, we are eternally indebted to you Mom! We will never be able to repay you for all that you have done and sacrificed for us. You have always put us first in your life. Thank you a million times over! WE love you!!!!
R: Righteous. It is a wonderful thing to have a righteous mother. I am thankful for a mother who taught me about modesty, showed me by example the importance of prayer, gaining knowledge, loving life, the importance of scripture study and temple attendance. I am grateful for a mother who always attends church, does her visiting teaching, and magnifies her callings. There is nothing more beautiful than a righteous woman and mother!
So Mom, on this mother’s day, I want to thank you! I want to thank you for being the exceptional mother you have been and are to us. Thank you for your example, sacrifice and love. You are still my beautiful mother! XOXO! Have a wonderful day!!!!
Check her out in action:
Love apey
Deeply moving, April. Thank you. Not so much on the “with perfection and grace” though. You are a fine mother yourself. I love you. And sometimes we, as women, mother each other. I know you have been there for me. Bless you, my dear.
I echo every sentiment in that beautiful tribute! Our mother is truely amazing and an inspiration in my life. How lucky we have been to have her as our mother/teacher/freind. Love you eternally mom!
Amen, y’all. Gorgeous beach pics, yo.
