Aromatic!

I got a box full of goodies from Bath & Body Works from the girls as a Mothers Day gift, so from now on, I expect all of you who see me in person to comment on how fragrant and appealing I am. Because you know? I don't recall ever hearing that from any of you before, although several of you have been quick to tell me about spinach in my teeth and unmentionable things fluttering in my nostrils. Very quick.

And for those of you who don't see me in person, it wouldn't kill ya to write to me and say, "You certainly do look like the kind of person who smells good! Just naturally, without any help from the products of Bath & Body Works, although I'm sure they do a lot to enhance the loveliness of your inherent yumminess."

Seriously, though, if you have a good Mothers Day story to share, please do. I'd love to read it!

A Sweet Mother's Love

A Mother's love is truly priceless;
Worth more than diamonds, silver, or gold.
We recognize her sacrifices
As, through the years, our lives unfold.

She taught us all about God's word.
With unending faith, her voice was heard.
Her patient heart came from above,
For us to cherish 'Sweet Mother's love'.

Mothers don't judge you, even if you're wrong.
Their love is steadfast, loyal, and strong.
She sows good seed, from up above,
Then cultivates them with her love.

A Mother's love is rare, indeed.
She takes care of my every need.

Happy Mother's Day, Mom!
I Love You!
And Happy Mother's Day
To all Mothers, everywhere.

First, I want to thank all of the mothers for being such wonderful mothers and role models. My mother and Father are the focus from now forward in this post. I am going to tell you our family story, beginig in the month of November of last year.

It all started when Dad, who is a car salesman, wasn't selling any cars. Dad was also having trouble with his boss. As I'm sure all of the people reading this know that being on commission and having a single parent work is rough. My parents remained through every trial from having no money, and all the way to having 3 of either our cars or borrowed cars brake down in a 3 week period. My parents through the money troubles could have dropped me and my sister off at the nearest middle school, and let Mom go get a job to bring in more money, but instead of following their ways they continued to walk the ruff path of Christian. At this point, Let us think positive!

Through all of our bad luck we have had continued graces such as getting money to help us out with bills, we have been lent a computer and 3 cars along with all of our friends getting together and giving us rides their and back from home school activities. So in the midst of all of our awful luck we have grown in Faith with God and Love in our family. We know we have God and friends watching over us. So thank you Mom and Dad for continually remaining sane through these bad times. Isn't it funny to think that we don't appreciate family to the fullest extent until something bad happens?

Your Daughter,
Meelyn
