Many of you who know me know that I mess things up on a regular basis. By messing things up I mean most holidays, birthdays and every Sunday morning. However, the one holiday I seem to mess up on a regular basis is Mother’s Day. Regardless of my efforts (or lack thereof) I find a way to disappoint my wife. This year I’m trying to do better.
Heidi is one of the best mother’s I know. Many of you know this because you have seen our children…always dressed to impress, well-behaved, courteous, kind, loving, thoughtful, etc. Tatum, Tucker and Jersey know they are loved and Heidi proves this every single day. She selflessly serves our family ALL day and never asks anything in return. She is always there to play, comfort, spend time, read, educate, discipline when needed or whatever is needed at that time. Our kids are very well taken care of ALL because of Heidi.
When I asked Tatum why she loved her Mommy, her response was as follows:
1. She plays with me.
2. She is beautiful.
3. She always dresses pretty.
4. She is nice.
5. I love her.
6. She is the bestest Mommy.
7. She sits by me.
When I asked Tucker why he loved his Mommy, his response was as follows:
1. She jumps on the tramp.
2. She likes Ninja (Tucker’s turtle).
3. She likes Jersey.
4. She is pretty.
5. She is nice.
6. She looks like a beautiful flower.
Jersey loves her Mommy for all the same reasons as Tatum and Tucker. Jersey has seen first hand the selflessness of Heidi. She spent countless hours at the hospital singing, talking, reading, loving and standing next to Jersey. Heidi always let Jersey know how much she loved her and how much her family loves her. There is not a doubt in my mind Jersey felt Heidi’s love and knew she would do anything for her. Jersey loves her Mommy!!!
Heidi, in case I forget to say this out loud…Happy Mother’s Day!!! I love you very much and am thankful for everything you do for our family. Tatum, Tucker, Jersey and I all adore you and are thankful for your countless acts of service you provide daily. YOU ARE THE BEST!
WE HEART YOU MORE!!!
Me, Tatum, Tucker, Jersey
