HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

I just want to say how grateful I am to have such wonderful women in my life to look up to as examples, and turn to for advice. I am so lucky to have more than most! I just want to say:

Mom-Happy Mother's Day, I hope you have a wonderful RELAXING day, wish I lived closer so I could be there to relax with you. Thank you so much for all you do for me, and for all you have taught me. Thank you for always trying to teach me to do what is right, even when I didn't want to. Thank you for keeping the Gospel #1, so that I would know what is truly important in life. Thank you times one million! What a special year getting to celebrate as a first time Grandma as well. Paityn loves you, as do Geoff and I!

Lyn- Can't wait to celebrate this special day with you. You are loved by me, and of course Paityn, Geoff and Milo. It is nice having you just around the corner (pretty much) so we can get together often! Hope you have a love-filled Mother's Day!

Carolyn- We love you, and have had so much fun getting to spend a little more time with you in the last several months on vacations with the family. Wish we could see you on this special day. We hope that you are spoiled by those who do get to be with you. Thank you for all you do, we do love you!

Grandma Bobbie- Happy Mother's Day Grandma, and first mother's day as a Great Grandma. What a special year for all of us to have Paityn in our lives! I love you, and miss spending these holidays with you and the family in California. From all of us, We LOVE you, and thank you for all you have given our little family! Have a great day! (dont know why this picture is so small)

Grandma Heslop- It is SO wonderful to have a "NEW" Grandma as I entered the family. You are a truly special lady, and we all look up to you so much. I wish you a joyous day, relax, and remember all of the memories you have created through such an amazing family. We love you so much!

Grandma Lynch- Happy Mother's Day. We love you, and hope now that you are closer we will see you more often, although that hasn't happened yet. We do hope to see you soon. Thank you for treating us as you would any of your Grandchildren! We hope you enjoy this day that is just for you!

Grandma Olsen- You are another reason I am so glad to have married Geoff. I love you, we all love you. I thank you for all of the special things you do for us and the entire family. You are honestly an incredible person, and always go way beyond what is expected. Thank you so much, have a fabulous day.

And to those Grandma's that have passed on, my Grandma Harriet, and Geoff's Grandma Olive, we will always have special memories of years past, and will one day celebrate with you again!

What a sweet posting Joy. I know it wil be appreciated.
I miss having a mum to give a card to. I dlnt m ind if no one gives me one, but I miss my mum who died in 1991.
Here in England we have Mother's Day in March...usually it is on or around my Birthday March 13.
Who knows why they are at different times. Geoff's grandma Olive of course passed on Mother's Day. They said it was bitter sweet.
Happy Mother's Day to you too from one mum to another across the miles.

What a wonderful tribute to the mom's and grandma's in your life. What a lucky little girl to have such a group of grandma's and great grandma's. I believe I am a better person for having such wonderful grandma's and great grandma's in my life. I think kids walk a little taller, and feel special when we have these wonderfl ladies in our life. I miss all my grandma's and great grandmas, and also my wonderful mom. They are missed but are waiting for me across the shore. I do hope you have a great first mom's day, enjoy.
