There have been a lot of women in my life that have each taken on a portion of the mother in my life. I want to thank them all for their contribution. First I want to thank Cindy, my closest sister and best friend. She has been there through the thick and thin. She was there to help me through puberty (heaven help the single Dad's out there who are dealing with a teenage daughter without embarrassing her!) Cindy was there to teach and help me learn. She was there through the social parts of my life when friends seemed more fun and exciting than my family was. She was there to plan my wedding, and I mean the whole thing by herself! She executed it perfectly! She is still there through my pregnancy, building a house and every other life changing event. Thank you Cindy for the 5 phone conversations a day and the laughs and giggles that represent the hugs your not comfortable with giving! I love you!
Jonna, another sister of mine has also been there for me for as long as I can remeber, even when Mom was here. She played with me at the park, at home and anywhere else I wanted to be. She talked with me, worried about me, provided any support she could for me without me even asking. She was there everyday for me and worked at my school's. I know I have never treated her with appreciation, but I hope she knows how much I love her and appreciate her! Thanks Jonna!
Shana was only there for a few years before I was married, but she taught me the fundamentals of sewing and cooking. And to this day, I call her for all of my home related questions. She is always there to lend an ear and words of advice when I ask for them. I know she is struggling right now with the hardest challenges of Motherhood and I want ther to know we wish Scott the best!
There are so many others out there that I need to thank, this post could not be long enough. But the last person I want to remeber and thank is my own mother. I love you! It is hard without you but we get along great and out family is close because of you. Thanks for all of the warm rolls and Banana bread. Thanks for the raspberry jam, hand tied baby blankets and the choke cherry syrup. Thanks for the hugs, the kisses, words of encouragement and examples of service. I am always trying to be more like you and I can't wait to see you again! Happy Mothers Day!!!

Your right- I am glad I didn't read your post at that moment :) cause even last night, in the quiet of the night, it still made me cry. I'm not good with words either but thanks for everything you do for me too! You are the one I call to "talk things out" and to laugh with. I can basically admit all my faults to you and know that you will still be there. I do wish we lived closer so we could spend more actual time together, maybe someday... Any way, thanks to you for everything too and yes....I do love you too :)
