{with Thanksgiving} Day 9: my mom

She is a beautiful woman.  Most of the conversations we have leave me so fulfilled.  She is the salt of the earth and sees the good in everyone.  She's quiet, gentle, and nurturing.  Sometimes when I raise my voice at the kids I think about my childhood and how my mom rarely yelled (that's what dads are for-ha!)  Her virtue...patience.  She is so loving and when I'm home I just want to sit and have coffee with her.  I want to live how she loves.  I want to love Christ how she loves Christ. She visits the Blessed Sacrament nightly! Yes, nightly.  It's no wonder she's this amazing grace filled woman I hope to be an ounce of one day. 

Can we get a moment of silence for this picture, please? On the count of three everyone say....AWFUL!!!!
