Second Mother's Day without a mother.... I was able to walk down the Mother's Day card isle without cringing. But it still sucks. Not even a little, it sucks a lot. Never for a second of my existence I have ever thought my mom didn't love me. If anything she was overflowing with love for us. If I can love my kids the same way at least I can feel like that love lives on. Even if my kids don't even remember silly Grandma, the way she laughed, or how much fun she was. At least they'll have her love passed down through me to them. Unconditional mom love. I do believe it is an invisible super force. That's what I'll always remember most about my mom and what makes a mom great. Guaranteed I'll make mistakes along the way like my mom but I forgave her and so my kids will forgive me. My mom was like a superwoman when I was little she could do everything and knew everything, was outgoing, creative, fun, and smart. If I can be anything like that to my kids then I'll be proud. Although, I know my mom is proud of me matter what. This Mother's Day I just want to thank my mom for loving me so much, I'll carry that love with me always and pass it on my little ones.

Mother's Day 2011, if only she were here to see how adorable and big and

beautiful the grand-babes are now..... breaks my heart.
