So as you know, I am going to write a weekly blog to someone letting them know how much they mean to me and this is the first one I'm writing. The special someone who is lucky number one is......
My mother, Claudia Helen Seehoffer. She is the most wonderful, loving, strong, intelligent woman I know. You know when someone says "you sound just like your mother" or when you grow up and realise you are turning into her, or do things just as she always did? Yep, that happends, and It makes me so happy when someone says that to me, and when I realise I'm acting like her. She is a great person to grow up to be like :) She is a mother to 4 children, for quite a while she was a single mother and she did everything and anything to make sure we never went without and to make sure we always had a hot meal on the table and a roof over our heads. There was alot of thigns that she did when I was growing up that I didnt understand then, but since haveing two little girls of my own, I completely understand now some of the choices she made. I never realised how much my mother loved me until I had my first child, now its just like oh- duh! Today my relationship is better with my mother then it ever has been, and I am SO thankful for that. I can honestly say my mom is my best friend and I hope it stays that way forever. Shes a great best friend to have. When I was growing up I was always to scared to go to my mom and talk to her about anything, not really sure why, but I was, but now I can talk to my mom about anything and everythign under the sun. If I ever need help, advice, someone to whine or rant to, I immediatly call her up! shes a great listener and gives great advice. I dont know what I would do without my mother. Honestly, like do NOT know. I will quite possibly fall apart when I no longer have her, dont want to think about that. okay good thoughtssss..... My life would be no where near where it is today if I did not have all the love and support my mother gives me. She is my rock and without her I would likely crumble. Oh, did I mention she is the best Grammy in the whole world. She certainly knows how to spoil a little girl rotten, and really gets the "mommys rules dont apply at grammys house" thing. Chocolate ice cream for breakfast ring a bell? But its okay. grandmas arnt supposed to say no, especially to such sweet little girls like lexy and ellie, its hard to say no.
Picking who to write about for my first spotlight really was a no brainer, I really didnt have to think about it. Trying to figure out who to write about for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and so on is whats going to be tricky, but picking my mommy to write about first, was just like, duh! I am seriously like the most blessed girl in the whole world to have the most amazing mother in the whole world. I wouldnt trade you for anyone (and hope you wouldnt trade me either!) I love you more than words can say mommy, you are who I look up to and strive to be like. I catch my self thinking alot "what would my mom do" or "what would my mom say" and thats how I make alot of decisions these days, and whenever I use such logic, things always work out to my advantage, I'm not really surprised. She has been telling me thigns for years that I never listened to until recently and again, another "duh!" moment when I finally listen and realise why she has been saying it! Shes so darn smart. :) Well I am going to finish this up. I love you to the moon and starzies and back, forever and ever, no matter what. Your the most amazign mother in the world and all of your sleepless nights and countless hours of cooking, cleaning, shopping, planning, driving, and all the other many tasks that go along with being a mother of 4 will never go unappriciated. Everythign you ever did for me growing up I now have a much deeper appriciation for now that i have two children of my own and see how hard it really is. Your the strongest woman I know, and I love you, Mommy!
with love,
ps readers: I will be posting my next spotlight next tuesday (2/7/12) at some point. I wont reveal who it is about until its posted, make sure you check back incase its you! :) happy reading
This is exactly how I feel about mom, too. I look around, and really I don't have to look far, to see people in our generations whose mothers are so far from being anywhere near as good as ours. To our mom it was never even a thought - you just put your kids first. That's how it is. This is probably because she is just like her mom. Who was also queen of breaking mom's rules and spoiling her grandkids. I'm just glad we've been blessed enough to have such great women in our lives to look up to.
