On Sunday, I celebrated my first 'Mother's Day' as a mum, it was a wonderful feeling to know that I have been blessed with a lovely daughter who means everything to me and her daddy. Matthew and Amelia gave me the most lovely cards and I was treated to an 'i-tunes' gift certificate, a cover for my new i-pod and a fantastic CD/DVD of Josh Groban's 'AWAKE' Tour, I felt very spoiled and loved.
Matthew spoke at church too, his topic was 'wives and mothers of a prophet', he shared lots of wonderful stories and quotes relating to motherhood. I admire his confidence when he speaks to large groups, he did really well. Since he was sat on the stand, I took care of our wiggly daughter, she's so busy and into everything these days and it can be hard to have her sit for an hour, saying that, she did really well thanks to lots of teething rings and toys.
Of course, my thoughts were also with my mum on this special day. For those of you who know her, you already know what a wonderful woman she is. To me she is everything a mum should be. She is the only one who knows me completely, who will let me 'rant and rave' and love me anyway. During the past 34 years, we have gone through many happy days, sad days, exciting days and heartbreaking days, she has always been there for me, even though not always physically, since I live 6,000 miles away, she has always been on the other end of the phone helping me with decisions in my life. When I made decisions that were not the best, she supported me anyway, I always felt loved and who can ask for more than that.
I know she doesn't always give herself credit for the good job she has done, but I want her to know that I am who I am today, because of her, I adore and admire everything about her and hope to be as good a mum to Amelia as she has been to me.
When I think about how hard it must have been for her to let me move to America, I understand how selfless she was, she gave me wings and let me fly, even though this must have been so hard.
Mum, you are my best friend, my confidant and the most special woman in my life. Thank you for all that you have done for me and all that you continue to do, I hope I always make you proud, and hope you know I love you eternally!
You are the best...

My dearest beautiful daughter. I want you to know that it is a priviledge for me to be your mother. I cherish the wonderful bond that you and I share and thank my Heavenly Father for giving me a daughter as precious as you are, and for allowing me to be your mother. I feel truly blessed. I love you.
