My mom is one of my favorite people in the entire world. She is kind, she is infinitely patient, she is goal-oriented, she is fiercely loving. She never missed an opportunity to make a day special for her four kids, and I still remember so vividly every minor holiday that we would wake up and she would have the table set with fun goodies and a celebration of the day (including the obvious minor holidays, and also like, Groundhogs Day and Veteran’s Day). She really made every moment so special.
My mom taught me to sew when I was in elementary school and we’d make all sorts of clothes together for my American Girl Dolls. She loved to match me and to match my sister and I together with both store-bought and homemade creations. She is always SO excited about the various things I have knitted, crocheted, or made for her over the years and is my number one fan in the projects I take on. She is only getting better and better with each year and I am so grateful for all that she has done as my mom. Happy Mother’s Day, mama!
