a grateful heart

 for my mother's heart
for as long as i can remember...
you have been by my side
to give me support, confidence, and help. 

for as long as i can remember...
you were always the person i looked up to 
so strong, so sensitive, so beautiful

for as long as i can remember...
you always provided love and stability for our family
full of laughter, full of tears, full of forgiveness

for as long as i can remember... 
and still today 
you are everything a mother should be

whatever i have become is because of you 
so thankful for you
thank you for teaching me how to love and how to be loved. 
i love you, mom. 

with love,
your sunshine girl
 
hope you had a wonderful mother's day 
wedding wine on the back patio
...
what are you grateful for this week?

Grateful Heart w/ Ember Grey
hope your weekend went well!

    What a beautiful dedication to your mom :) You're lucky to have her! and that wine on the patio looks delicious... of course the one thing I can't have looks good. Funny how that works ;)

    This week (and always!) I'm definitely grateful for my mom too. I didn't get to see her over the weekend, but I'm grateful that I'll get to see her briefly this coming weekend!
