Mother’s Day
May 10th, 2008 by Steffi

Hello all,
I finally decided that I should start contributing to the family blog site. What better time to start than Mother’s Day?
As many of you know, this is my first Mother’s Day without my mom. To say that I have mixed feelings is an understatement. To know that Mom is with our Lord and Savior, that is a time of rejoicing. The hard part is being more selfish and wanting her here with me.
My brothers and I were blessed to have two very wonderful parents. To have a mother that was home with us when we were young, just being there when we needed her, was awesome. Did we always agree on things? That is certainly a “no”. Did we know that we loved each other? That is truly a “yes”.
As the only daughter in a family of four children, I know that my relationship with Mom was different than that of my brothers. Those of you who are daughters certainly know what I am talking about. I learned many things from my mother and for that I am truly thankful.
On this Mother’s Day, remember that your mom is special no matter how difficult she may be, that the Lord gifted you with this mother for a reason, and to treasure the short time that you are blessed with her.
I miss you Mom and look forward to seeing you again soon.
