something different for someone special

Hey You out there!!!! So I guess I hit the 30 mark and got forgetful about blogging! Well, not really, its just that thing called work got in the way, 50-60 hour weeks really start to wear you out! Thank you for the reprieve!! :) But I have something special for you all today!!! As we lead up to Mother's day, I wanted to do something special & different, so without further ado........I present a little message from MY MOM!!!! (Welcome her into the blogging world!!!! With two little editor's notes from me!)

Every morning when I wake up I make a cup of coffee and sit down to read "Curly In The City".......if "life" has gotten in the way and I have to have my coffee without "Curly" Taylor has come to expect her first text of the day - you didn't blog......

In a turn of events Taylor asked me if I would like to "guest blog" for Mother's Day......she offered me the opportunity to do HER blog, MY way for one day.........

Deciding what to blog about was easy.......putting it into words was so much more complex but here it is....MY way......

Dear Taylor & Cole {My Brother},

To avoid any future stress for either of you (because we all know how difficult I am to buy for {She is the HARDEST!}) I want to take this Mother's Day to give you a list of the gifts that would bring a smile to my face every day.

1. I want you to ask for help when you need it.

2. I want you to help others when they need it.

3. I want you to see the world.

4. I want you to leave your mark on the world.

5. I want you to hold onto the memories of the big events in your life.

6. I want you to hold onto the memories of the small events in your life.

7. I want you to take time out of your busy life for yourself.

8. I want you to take time out of your busy life for others.

9. I want you to always respect yourself.

10. I want you to always respect others.

11. I want you to spend the rest of your life learning new things.

12. I want you to spend the rest of your life teaching new things to others.

Most importantly I want you to experience the true happiness that both of you have given me.  On this Mother's Day I am truly honored to say that I am Taylor & Cole's mom.

Love,

Mom

All I can muster after all that, is I LOVE YOU MOM!!!! {Now you see why she is my best friend, the one who knows all my secrets and the first person I call!}
