happy 2 years

Are You My Mother?

I want to wish a happy Mother's Day to the wonderful women in my life. Thank you for your selfless service that often goes unnoticed. Thank you for your love, patience, kindness, and teachings that go on to bless the world. 

First to my sister Nicole. The mother of 3 of the cutest kids I could ever hope to call my nieces and nephews! I've learned so much just from watching as you went through life, knowing I would soon be following; dating, dancing, marriage, and now motherhood. I only wish we lived closer so we could spend more time together and I could see those little cuties of yours more - life just goes too fast. You have a fierce dedication to your family and I know there is nothing more important to you. I love you!

Next to my sister Alicia. While not a mother yet herself, she was like a second mom to me growing up, mixed in with a best friend and sister. She has always been so supportive of me in school, sports, and life choices. I can tell her anything even when I can't find words, and she knows what I'm trying to say. She is protective, loyal, supportive, and has unconditional love. And I don't think there is a better aunt in the world, you can see love gushing out of her when she's with or talks about our niece or nephews. I know she will be a great mother someday because she already is.

Next I want to wish a happy mothers day to all my grandmothers. You are such wonderful mothers and women, that to adequately describe you they had to add "grand" in front of your titles! Thank you for the legacy and name you have given me. Thank you for your faith and the way you have raised your children - your influence continues to bless many as they continue to teach me and their other children. I love you and am so grateful for your wisdom, love, and example.

 

And a very Happy Mother's Day to my дорогой Mama. Thank you for raising such an great man to be my husband. I couldn't have asked for a better mama to inherit. Thank you for taking me in as your own daughter, for the love and kindness you have shown me. You are such an amazing woman, I still marvel at all you have accomplished in your life; at your flexibility and faith. Thank you for being in my life, я тебя очень люблю!

 

Of course no Mother's Day tribute would be complete without mentioning my Mazha. Thank you Mom for all that you have sacrificed to raise Nicole, Lici, and I. Thank you for all the opportunities and experiences; the support, quite service, patience, forgiveness, love, and teaching. You are so much a part of who I am today. There's no way to adequately describe what you mean to me and what you have done for me, but thank you for everything. I love you!
