Happy Mother's Day

Amber:
To my mom,
I love that on mother's day all the  spring tulips are in bloom.  Tulips are my mom's favorite flower, and I always think about her when I see them.
I appreciate my mom's example so much, especially now that I'm taking on the role of wife.  I keep trying to be like her, and I often find myself thinking, "what would my mom do in this situation?"  I really appreciate her example, and it becomes more valuable to me the older I get.
Thank you Mom, I love you.


Garrett:
My mom is one of the best examples of service that I know.  She goes far out of her way to help others even if it conflicts with her plans.  That is one lesson that I am trying to work on to become less selfish.  
She has bailed me out of so many situations like needing the family suv, "hey mom, my car is broken... it doesn't seem to be running anymore" - meaning i need gas money, bringing me my car keys when I lock my keys inside my car at school, making me lunches when I stop by, being the go to parent since dad wouldn't ever let me have sleepovers, someone i can trust and talk openly to, and most of all, my best friend while growing up.  I love you mom.  Thank you so much for the thousands of sack lunches, fun dates, and being the best Christlike example I know.  I love you so very much.

- G
