10 Things I Love About Mom; Happy Birthday!

So, its my moms birthday today and this year I decided that I would write a blog and highlight the top ten reasons that I love my mom.  Of course there are more than ten reasons, but this is a blog, not a book.  So for all of you who do not know this is my mom.
Her name is Robin.  This picture was taken this summer when we went to the Art Barn in Douglas, Mi. for my birthday.
Here are the top 10 reasons I love my mom;
1. She taught me about a faith in God.  I would not have the faith that I have today if my mother had not taught my about God and instilled that in me.  She took my sister and I to church and made having a relationship with Jesus important to me.

2.  If I am sick at 2 o'clock in the morning or if my car breaks down the first person I am going to call is my mom because I know that no matter what she will come to where I am and try to make it better.

3.  She still celebrates my birthday and the little milestones in my life like my smoking quit date and my sobriety date with me.

4.  She is my friend as well as my mom.  She shares her struggles with me, and allows me to help her.  She allows me to see her imperfections.

5.  She still cooks for me on occasion.  Once in a while mom will bring over some dish that she made just because.

6.  She is a wonderful grandma, and I am so proud of the way that she is with Lilly.  I know that when I have children, they will have a wonderful grandma.

7.  She is kindhearted and giving to strangers, and that is part of the reason that I love helping others.  She taught me to help those less fortunate.

8.  She loves animals.  She rescues every stray cat in her neighborhood.  I love that my mom can't let an animal suffer.

9.  She is not lacking in motivation.  No one can ever say that she is lazy.  It took a while but I did learn some of this from her.

10.  She is always trying to learn new things which is amazing.  She learned how to drive on the highway, she learned computer, ect. 
I love you mom.  Happy Birthday!!!!!
