Day 14 of Giving Thanks

Today I am thankful for my mother!  She has done so much for me throughout the years.  She sacrificed so much for my sister and I, so we could have her around when we were younger.  She had dreams of her own to go to college and even graduate school and put those on hold so she could be home with my sister and I instead.  As much as I hate to see people not fulfilling their dreams, I know when I look at my mom that her true dream was to spend as much time as possible with my sisters and I when we were growing up so she didn't miss anything ... And I can't thank her enough for that!  Also, as the years have gone by and we have grown up, she has become a great friend to me.  I still love that she does lots of "mommy" things for me.  She took care of me a few weeks ago when I was sick.  She made my husband and I a huge brunch after church a few weeks ago.  And she even got as giddy as I did walking through my new, yet unfinished home, and helping me make plans for decoration!  She is a great inspiration to me and I got blessed when God chose this specific woman to be my mother!
