Mom,
Whenever I think of you, I think about…

Love, for family, first and foremost. It’s unconditional.

Kindness. Whether you are taking time to bring an older relative shopping or baking for a grieving neighbor, you make people feel that they are special and cared for.

Books – how could I not? I can’t remember a time that you weren’t reading something, with more books on hold at the library and magazines stacked around the house. Now I do too!

Faith and trust that it will all be ok.

Blueberry pie. Apple pie. And muffins too…

Smiles. When you’re happy or excited your smile has an ageless energy and enthusiasm to it. I hope I inherited that quality.

Appreciation for life. You notice the little things. Maybe that has something to do with why Thankfulfor is now in the world!

I love you for all these things and more.
– Jen
