“I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.
I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.
I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”
― Marjorie Pay Hinckley
This is one of my all time favorite quotes. I believe it is a quote that describes my mother very well.
My Mother is...
A healer
A listener
My best friend ever
A chef
A beautiful daughter of our Heavenly Father
Diligent in all she does
One with twinkly eyes and a radiant smile
A sweet wake up in the morning
A constant hug
Beautiful to me always
A rescuer of people
Tender and Gentle
Someone to be myself with
Histerical and lighthearted
A mother with deep feelings and thoughts
An encourager to do my best
Busy in the best way
A hard worker
Close to all her family
My gratitude for my mother is unending. I am and forever will be grateful for the gift of life I have been given and for the life she has continued to give through all of my growing up. She is special to me. I hope that she always feels the love surrounding her every day and knows her potential and divine influence on all those around her. My mother is a star. She is constant and shines both day and night, even when we or she can't always see it. Her light is giving. Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mothers and women in the world tonight. Your role in this life is indescribably beautiful.
