"You don't choose your family. ~Desmond Tutu
I am so thankful for my family! I am especially thankful that my mom has been such a blessing to Little Chick and myself. Growing up I was very close to my father. We were a very tight knit family, but I was my dad's little sidekick and somehow my mom did not get the attention or credit from me that she so deserved. It is funny how as we get older and become parents ourselves, we learn to appreciate our own parents more then we did as a child. Because my Dad and I were so close, it really wasn't until his passing that I began to spend more time with my mom and get to truly know her.
I just received two more blog awards from wonderful blogging friends! The first is, once again, The Versatile Blogger award from Jessica at "Mo Shiorghra". Thank you so much! I feel so honored!

Oh thank you so much! This means a lot to me! Your mom seems like such a wonderful person, it is so true.. You don't really appreciate your parents till you get older. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteAww the pics are far too sweet! especially the nose kisses one!! Your kids are very lucky to have such a wonderful grandma around! My granny stays close too and even though am a mom now she still makes me feel like 5 year old with her pampering! :)

ReplyDeleteGreat post and so true about no truly appreciating our parents until we become parents ourselves. Now I look back on things my mother did and say, "Ohh, now I understand"
ReplyDeleteLoving your blog, by the way.
It's interesting to see things come full circle when you become a mother yourself. You're very fortunate to have such a loving relationship with your mom.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, this is yet another touching post. the love of Grandparents is just something else. I want my kids to be showered by their love as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for thinking of me for this award!! I really appreciate it. I'll definitely pass it on to other blogger friends

ReplyDeleteYour Mom must be so proud.
Congrats on your awards!!

Because my Aunt lost my cousin when we were just 21 I try to not miss out on time with her when I can swing it. My Boo Boo loves her soooo much and I feel like my cousin is happy because my Aunt "sort of" has a grandchild to play with and spoil a bit.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your awards and what seems to be a wonderful family!
