my mom

I could write a long note here about my mom and how truly wonderful she is in every way.  But it is super late and my eyes are tired from staring at the screen.  I'll just say these few things.  She is full of generosity, compassion, loyalty, duty, diligence, kindness, and an abounding love for her grandkids.  Even though she doesn't live here, she knows my schedule and theirs, thinking about what is going on for them each day and calling to check in.  This has been a busy season for her, full of not very fun tasks taking care of my ailing grandfather.  It is what needs to be done, and so she is the one to do it.  But we miss her.  And it's been too long since we've seen her.  And so, Mommy, I've spent the last week working on the blog.  I'm not caught up yet, but these next 36 posts are for you.  I love you.
