I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.
- Abraham Lincoln
I used a shortened version of this quote for something I gave Traci on her first Mother’s Day in 2008, when she was 8 months pregnant with John. I still can’t fully comprehend the profoundness of the words, but parenthood with Traci has helped me start.
Partnering with her during this awesome journey has been the most blessed days of my life, so I decided to list a few in honor of this much deserved holiday: I’m blessed to have Traci beside me… I’m blessed (as are Traci and John) to have a mother that loves me and prays for me the way that only mothers can… most of all, I’m blessed to see God’s awesome love and power in an unmatched earthly form…
Mom: thank you for all your prayers and guidance over the years – you’ve put in close to 30 years now, but I thank you for not relenting (I’m as sure of this as the air I breathe).
Traci: thank you… for everything, but in honor of this day, thank you for showing me what to appreciate and what to strive for.
So, in honor of all they do, every day, be sure to hug a Mother this weekend, preferably your own – or at least someone you know…
