My MOM

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

There is no one more beautiful in this world than my mom.  She is an angel among us.  A selfless soul who finds immense joy in giving to others.

When I went to find this photo to demonstrate what an angel my mom is- I was suprised to see the halo on her head. Sure I KNOW she’s an angel but I’ve never actually SEEN the halo before.

What kind of woman hoots and hollers so loud at a basketball game to cheer on her grandson that even the umps hear her and are distracted?  The kind of woman who at 70+  searches the web for the mini-zippers for a ski outfit for the doll of grandaughter that just learned to ski, hand knits a scarf and hat and makes mini-doll size custom skis.

She’s the same kind of woman who will go out of her way every week to work with the poor in Schenectady, who will cry deeply when you’re hurt and give of her self until there is no more.

I could not admire anyone more than I admire my mom.  She is so full of love and effervescent joy.  She listens deeply when hard times hit and offers sage advice.  She is the person I most want to be like in life.

I have been blessed, my greatest blessing in life has been my mother. Thank you God for my mom.
