I'm so grateful for a mother who is the most Christ-like person I know. I seriously don't know if I'll ever measure up to the person she is- so patient, thoughtful, self-less, caring, spiritual, and loving. She has taught me more than any other person in my life. I owe so much to her and my Dad.
I'm grateful for a mother who continues to be faithful in the gospel no matter what her circumstances,
who follows the Lord in ALL things not just what she thinks is right but what we've been taught in the scriptures and by the Prophet. She is the definition of a Mother. I love her so much and am so grateful for the things she has taught me and continues to teach me. Raising 15 kids is no easy task, I have one child and I'm burnt out most days because of the handful he is, so I have a huge appreciation for the homemade school lunches, getting up at 4 am to bake us bread; read us scriptures and make us a hot breakfast. Always making sure we attended church even when camping, not doing things like watching TV or doing laundry on Sunday, and not drinking caffeinated beverages. Helping us strive to get good grades, our Young Women Medallions, and gain a Testimony. Making sure we were careful with dating in our teenage years and staying up late waiting for us to get home from dates or out with friends, just to make sure we got home safe. Reminding us to Pray Pray Pray. She was/is always in tune to hear the Holy Ghost. Has always been a great example of one who attends the temple. She is an avid reader who tried to instill that in us, always having us do our "job charts" in the Summer along with school work and reading during those 3 months off. The grand kids love their "Cita" and so do we.
