Jooj, my mom, and my dad with teeny Stella on her blessing dayToday is my mom's birthday.
I thank my Father in Heaven everyday for my mom.
Whenever I am frustrated with my kids, I think about how I never heard my mom raise her voice. Ever. And then I try harder to be more patient and calm.
Whenever Oliver is bored, I think about how much my mom read to us when we were little. And then Oliver and I sit on the couch and read the time away.
Whenever Stella is tired, I think about how my mom sang and rocked us to sleep. And then I remember that Stella will only be a baby for a minute, so I rock her and sing to her and love her to sleep.
I learned from the best.
Happy birthday, Mom.
