A few of my favorite women

I'm not one of the lucky one's who's mother is still around.

She didn't get to see me turn 21.

Fall in Love

Get married

or have my babies

But I've been SO blessed to have all these women in my life.

My Grandma

My mom's mom came and spent 2 weeks with me after I had Jack. I don't know what I would have done with out her.

When I asked her when she thought she was going to leave she said "When I think you're ready I'll head home" and I told her I'd never be ready....but she knew, and after 2 weeks she packed up her car, gave us all big hugs, and went home.

I went into my bedroom and bawled my eyes out. Not because I wasn't ready,because I was....but because I had gotten to feel like what it would have been to have my mother with me 24/7 for 2 whole weeks and I never wanted her to leave.

My Aunt Jennie

My mom's sister was always mom number 2 she took care of all of us kids from the very beginnning. Everyone should have an Aunt Jennie

She is the sweetest, most caring, lovable women.

She'll drive an hour after a long day of work just to be with me and to see my boys.

She is my aunt, my mother, and my best friend all in one package.

My Cousin Kyeva

I don't even know where to start with this little lady. She is everything to me and to my boys.

She is 9 years younger then me, so I remember rocking her to sleep and changing her diapers :)

But as we got older we got closer and closer. She is my cousin, my littler sister, my best friend, my kids Auntie and someone I could never live without. She listens to my crazyiness and loves me for me.

And then there is my GG (Great Grandma)

She lived to be 100 years old, just missing her 101st birthday by days, but she told us at her 99th birthday that it was so much fun she'd have ONE more.

When we said maybe one more at her 100th birthday, she shook her head no.

How many people can say that they got to have there GG in there life until they were 32 years old?

Not many.

She taught us all so much.

She was a wonderful Gardner, an amazing artist, the best mother, grandmother, great grandmother and Great GREAT grandmother all at the same time.

This Sunday we will be celebrating her life.

and what a life it was

I love you Ladies SO very much!!

Thank you for being there for me and my family.
