Growing up, I only imagined myself as a mom and wife. I couldn't wait to have babies and be their mom. One of the most important roles that I have is being a mom. I love everything about the joy of motherhood. I stayed at home with my boys until Bryson went to 2nd grade. I loved being with my boys while they were learning to walk, talk and run so I didn't miss anything. I love the relationship that I have with my boys and they way that they show their love for me. I am so proud of the young men they are and the men they are becoming. There are times that my boys demonstrate their love by opening my doors, helping me into the car, bringing me home sodas on their way home, running my errands and telling me about their day. I do not express my gratitude enough for my role as a mother and opportunity to be their refugee from life's storms. I consider that gift to be one of my greatest treasures.
