Being a mother is the greatest blessing of all blessings. Being a mother is my greatest joy, but being the mother to my three children makes this blessing even greater. I appreciate their kindness, compassion, gentle demeanor, testimonies, sweet spirits, and the love they share with me. I often think that I have been blessed beyond what I am deserving of, and I humbly thank my Heavenly Father for this. It is because of my children that I want to be better, live better, do better, and love better. Thank you Graden, Shandryn, and Jynese for the greatest love of all and for testing me, teaching me, showing me, loving me, and allowing me to be your mother. I pray that you can always count on me in every circumstance and situation. I pray that I have taught you the most important lessons of life. I pray that you will always be close to your Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ. And I pray that you will always know and remember that I love you all more than anything.

a little quote from President Thomas S. Monson....
"May each of us remember this truth;
One cannot forget mother and remember God.
One cannot remember mother and forget God.
Why? Because these two sacred persons, God and mother,
partners in creation, in love, in sacrifice, in service,
are as one."
