Mom,
What to say when it seems as if all has been said....... Maybe I should start off with an whooooo whoooo whooooo ! Shaney Joshey whoooo whoooo whoooooo.
Hopefully that provides you with a laugh. Maybe its only an inside joke in our family but it does make me smile.
I remember so many great memories of being raised by you as my mother. Not just the hollering of course but the amazing prayers and dramatical moments. Now I am not mocking your prayers I am just remembering some of them and how much information that I learned about our family and friends and the latest current events. I enjoy pouring out my feelings in prayers and trying to remember everything that I can and it reminds me of family prayer. How many times when it was my turn for dishes did I suddenly "have to go to the bathroom". How often were you there right by my side just wanting me to do some of it and you always willing to make up the rest. It sure seems like that happens even now when I have to do some work. Speaking of concerning, it seems that you would always find me on the throne reading and you would warn me about the dangers of getting hemroids and such. Now that I finally have kids I feel your pain I try and try to get my children to do a little work and its like pulling teeth its so much easier to just do it myself. I know you and dad really tried to instill in us the ability and desire to work.
Unfortunately it seems like we really don't appreciate you until we are away or walking a few feet in your footsteps. Your example is amazing and I feel like you have given us everything you ever could! If only we could live our lives the way that you have lived yours we all would probably be twinkled !!!
Thank you so much for your sacrifice of bringing me into this world and showing me by example how to live !
I Love you Mom and Pray for You Daily
Have a Happy Birthday.
Josh (Joshua) Your most difficult son.
