| The best Grandma in the world. |
Today would have been my Mom's 68th birthday. I went to Hobby Lobby to return something, and I wanted so badly to buy something for her. I miss her terribly. We all miss her terribly. I am so happy for my Mom. Really I am. I know that today was the best birthday she has ever had. She is in heaven and couldn't be happier. It's just so hard not to be able to talk to her.
In honor of her birthday, I thought I would list some things I love about my Mom.
1. She loved her family more than anyone I know.
2. She was so proud of her grandchildren and their accomplishments.
3. She was always interested in whatever was going on in our lives.

12. She taught her 3 daughters to love faith and family, home and motherhood.
