I could have put about a half a GAZILLION other things that you are as well... but my hand started cramping up really bad from drawing/writing. . .So I stopped with that. I had to put several different ways of calling you "Mom" cause...that's who you are most of all... and the best one in the universe... I would never-ever trade you for anyone else to be my Mom. You have taught me so much over the 21 (almost 22) years of my life...that's why I put teacher on there...I'm sure I could think of stories, or ways you've shown me that you are all of these things... infact I probably have a story/example for EVERY one of them... a few might be........

-For FAITHFUL-I've never known you to go to bed without reading your scriptures and praying. No matter how hard things get you have ALWAYS done this. I can't tell you how often when I'm talking about you to other people I tell them this...and how proud to tell them I am.

-Brave- In the last year I can think of countless things you've done to show how brave you are...like doing what you needed to, to be happy again...even though it was really hard, and scary. Your surgry. . . and of course what you're doing right now...You're so brave in moving away and being on your own. . .

-Generous-You're always giving of yourself, whether it be time, or monetary things... like fast-offerings you always gave more than what was required... or the parkway trail/flower beds on center street.

-Beautiful-Well just look in the mirror...you are, and always have been beautiful (regardless of my comment about angelina jolie...i really don't think she's that pretty...she just has big boobs and nice legs...and hey you've got the ta-ta's now!) HOWEVER...the beauty I am referring to doesn't only have to do with your rockin' bod and amazing face... I'm also taking about the huge heart that you have and all the beauty that you posses inside.

-Tolerant-well just look at all the stupid things your kids have done...and the different people you are dealing with everyday. You try so hard not to pass judgement on people.

-Loving-This attribute is one of your strongest...and one that I'm so glad you have... Even thought I've done some really REALLY stupid things in my life and made dumb choices you have always loved me. When you and Dad sat down with me and talked to me about how disappointed you were with me in the beginning with Luis (when you didn't know what was really going on). I knew that YOU still loved me...and that, that fact wouldn't change even though you thought I was making horrible mistakes. Or when you found out that I had started drinking with Alyce. . .there has never been a moment in my life that I thought you didn't love me, and I know all of your kids feel the same way....

FOR THE LOVE... I'M BAWLING LIKE A CRY BABY NOW....

I better stop before I get worse and start sobbing and wake Scott up. But like I said before I could give you examples of each word I used. . .You're an amazing woman, and a phenominal Mom. I love you so much! I hope you always know that.
