i love my mommy

what a day. my heart has seriously been on a major roller coaster ride. i got a call earlier this evening that one of my high school girl's mom passed away this afternoon. it broke my heart because my girl is two weeks away from graduating from high school and needs a momma now more than ever. and her little sister...about to embark on the terrors of middle school without someone to love and guide her, give her advice about boys, and argue with about clothes.

it made me stop and realize how much i cherish my own momma. seriously, over the past couple of years, she has become more than my mother, but a true friend. i really don't know how i would function in life without her there to be my biggest fan and strongest prayer warrior. granted, there have been times when we've been at each others' throats, but that's just because we're practically the same person and tend to have battles of the will sometimes. i know that my mom loves me more than life itself and loves me with the deepest, unconditinal love that only moms can have for their children. and as her daughter, i am completely honored.

so, in honor of mother's day, and in honor of mrs. kim and the amazing, wonderful life that she led, let your own momma know just how amazing she is...

Amen!! You do have a good momma! You are very blessed. Glad you liked the girl's pictures. You saw them at the end of the night when they were a "hot mess" (one of my favorite sayings from Neece on Clean House):)
