Thank Goodness for Moms

I thought I would take time to express my gratitude for my mother. Bryan and I were really lucky to have her spend two weeks with us. I was not too sure how this visit would go. You see I was a bit nervous because Kirari would only be a week old and I knew Bryan and I would still be trying to figure things out and I didn't want to be told how to do things or that I was doing things wrong. My mother and I are so much alike that we would but heads while I was growing up. None of this happened and Bryan and I are so thankful for her time spent with us.

We were truly spoiled. My mom would come in and take Kirari in the early morning so I could get sleep. She would also stay up late with Bryan and Kirari while I slept. She didn't mind the many diaper changes (or at least she didn't say anything). She watched Kirari while I went into work or just so I could get out for a little while. Bryan, Kirari and I were really sad to see her leave and actually thought of ways to keep her with us. Mom, thank you so much for the things you taught me while I was growing up that have helped me to be a mother. Thank you to the rest of the family for sacrificing mom for those two weeks. Mom we love you and miss you.
