Moms

happy mother's day! it has been a good day. i have thought about so many women who are wonderful mothers. my mom of course is at the top of the list. i love her so much. we are great friends too! my mom is selfless and giving and loving. she is one of quincy's favorite people. second only to sean i think. :) my mom would do anything for me or anyone in our family. she has always taught me to do the right thing and to be a good person. she is a wonderful example. along w/ mom comes grandma. she is one of the greatest women i know. i don't know if i have ever heard her say something unkind. and if she did, she said it in a nice way! :) i was named after my grandma and i always liked that. i hope i will always try to be more like her. we will be talking to sean's mom jill later today on video messenger. sean's parents live in new zealand. they are serving a mission there. 10 more months to go, i think. they have had 2 new grandbabies come into the family since they have been gone, i know jill will love coming home to a bigger family. she is a wonderful grandma! jill is such a good person. i have always really liked jill and i admire her great faith. she loves her family with all of her heart. it is so fun to think of my friends who are mothers now. they are such good moms to their babies. :) some of these girls i have know since i was we were kids! i love these girls and it's awesome to see how being a mother has made them even happier, better people. i pray that all my girlfriends can experience motherhood. i am beyond grateful that i am quincy's mom. last year quincy was only a few months old on mother's day. at the end of sacrament, our bishop asked me come up to talk about being a mother. (nice surprise, right?) i could barely talk. i was so overwhelmed with happiness and gratitude for quincy and the blessing that she was in our life. i feel the same today. (except i haven't been crying all day like last year.) quincy is the sweetest little girl. i am so lucky to be her mother. and of course i got the opportunity to be quincy's mom because of her birthmother and the choice that she made. i will always love her and be so grateful that she could recognize the promptings she had and was strong enough to follow through. she is amazing. so happy mother's day to you all! (and to me.) we deserve it! it is kind of a tough job to be mom sometimes, but i wouldn't want any other title.
