Cheryl Celebrates Her Mom’s Birthday

My mom is amazing.  She's always been there for me, always.  Since becoming a mom myself, I appreciate her more than ever.  I look back in time, and I don't know how she did it all.  She's one of a kind in my eyes.  Happy Birthday Mom!

My mom raised three children, worked full-time and somehow managed to juggle all of our schedules, keep the house in order, dinner on the table and do everything else that goes along with being a mom.  She was always there to talk, to listen and to help out with everything from homework to "girl stuff."  (I remember we used to make "Salt Maps" for projects at school.  She worked for hours with me to make them look great!)  I look back, and realize, I probably drove her crazy! 

Through the years, she helped me with many things from the time I was little, through high school and college, and into adulthood - and finally motherhood.  When my daughter was born, my mom took on the job of watching Jenna while I worked.  She also made sure, with my early hours, I was able to get enough sleep.  She did the same after my son, Ryan, came along.  When they started school, she was there to put them on the bus for me.  She also pitches in with the chores around the house whenever she comes over.  She offers advice when I need it, as well as love and support.

She's also pretty cool.  She up to date on using computers and texting!  She's stylish and adventurous as well.  She heads out with my dad on all sorts of trips, near and far.  She also still hangs out with her girlfriends.

My mom is a dream come true.  I am truly blessed to have her in my life.  Thanks Mom, you're one of of kind.  In my eyes, you are the best mom ever!  Happy Birthday, enjoy your day!
