When it was my turn to get up and say something about my mom what did I say?
"Hi. My mom's favorite thing to do is clean."
Then I sat down... That was all I said. Seriously? What was going through my 12 year old head? Mom, I am so sorry. You raised me better.
So, to sort of redeem myself I would like to tell everyone what I really meant to say...
My mother is an amazing person. I know that she is always there for me no matter what. She never forgets a Birthday, or fails to make our Birthdays special. I am grateful for her strong tesimony in the church and for showing me how to live as a daughter of God. She taught me and encouraged me to always do my best (even if sometimes I am too lazy to). She always made sure that my life was full of opportunities to learn and grow. I was always involved in some form of music/ dance classes and I loved all of them. She put up with me while I was learning to play the violin AND even came to all of my recitals. I wasn't kidding when I said that my mother liked to clean though... Ok, maybe she just likes things to be clean no matter who is doing the cleaning. I loved that no matter what, whenever I came home by myself or with friends our house would always be spottless (except for my room). I never had to worry or be embarrassed by our house when we would have unexpected guests. I loved that about our home and MAYBE one day Steven and I will be able to experience that in our own home... MAYBE. Anyways, I love you mom and I hope that you had a wonderful mothers day!
On another note I just want to congratulate my dad for being called into the bishopric! I know that he has been losing sleep over it but I know that he will be wonderful and so blessed.
I love my parentals.
My mom is really clean, too. Mine looks so horrible; she must shake her head in an exasperated manner when she leaves. I keep telling her that it will get better when I stop barfing.
ReplyDeleteYou're silly. I wasn't grasping for compliments when I brought up your Beehive dinner. . . . But thanks, it's nice. Also, you're not lazy, nor were you lazy. I'm sorry you felt/feel that way. You have done a lot with your life. People who are lazy can't play the violin and piano and serve everyone else like you do.
