My mother is one strong woman! She loves with her whole heart and always puts family first. She makes me laugh, she’s a great cook, and is always there when I need to talk. My mother is my best friend and I love her so much!!! In this blog entry you will see first, my very own family photo! The photo was taken during a family vacation to Cape Cod this past September. My hair was so long! Wow! I found a sweet poem about mothers and I had to share it with all of you. I dedicate this blog to my mom, my sister Taryn, my cousin Alisa, all the mom’s in my family… and, of course, all mothers out there! May God bless you always!

“God’s Helpers” by George W. Wiseman

God could not be in every place
With loving hands to help erase
The teardrops from each baby’s face,
And so He thought of mother.

He could not send us here alone
And leave us to a fate unknown;
Without providing for His own,
The outstretched arms of mother.

God could not watch us night and day
And kneel beside our crib to pray,
Or kiss our little aches away;
And so He sent us mother.

And when our childhood days began,
He simply could not take command.
That’s why He placed our tiny hand
Securely into mother’s.

The days of youth slipped quickly by,
Life’s sun rose higher in the sky.
Full grown were we, yet ever nigh
To love us still, was mother.

And when life’s span of years shall end,
I know that God will gladly send,
To welcome home her child again,
That ever-faithful mother.
