Dear Mom:



As I walk through my museum of memories,
I owe you—for your time. Day and night.
I owe you—for your example. Consistent and dependable.
I owe you—for your support. Stimulating and challenging.
I owe you—for your humor. Sparky and quick.
I owe you—for your counsel. Wise and quiet.
I owe you—for your humility. Genuine and gracious.
I owe you—for your hospitality. Smiling and warm.
I owe you—for your insight. Keen and honest.
I owe you—for your flexibility Patient and joyful.
I owe you—for your sacrifices. Numerous and quickly forgotten.
I owe you—for your faith. Solid and sure.
I owe you—for your hope. Ceaseless and indestructible.
I owe you—for your love. Devoted and deep.
-Charles R. Swindoll. Strong Family

Sweet ... ctrl-C and ctrl-V into my own blog and I got Mother's Day taken care of.

In all seriousness, I would concur that you have a pretty awesome mom, Greg and you gotta believe me on this since I knew her before you did. I have no rankings available for favorite aunts, but she probably has (and maybe still does) put up with more from me than any other aunt I have. Love you, Aunt Rose!
