It
is difficult for me to express all that my mother has been for me. As I think
about the ways she has influenced my life, three words stick out to
me—inspiration, joy and care.
My mother has always been my inspiration. She is my
example of faith, of courage and of perseverance. She inspires me to be my best
self, and encourages me no matter my mistakes. From my mother I learned to
trust God and His plan. I learned to seek and listen to revelation. I learned
to believe and live according to my belief. My mother is courageous. She is my
example of pursuing goals. She inspires me to do what I love and bless others
with my talents. She has blessed her family but has also used her passion for
teaching to bless many students’ lives. Her inspiring life has touched so many
people throughout the world. She taught me what it means to be a strong woman
and a caring daughter. She is my inspiration.
My mother’s laughter and happiness has brightened my
home. Her joy is infectious, even on a bad day. Growing up, we could always
trust mom to make us laugh. She would play, tickle and laugh with us. I
remember so many bad days that were made happy because of my mom’s ability to
cheer and comfort. Even now as an adult, mom has an ability to make my life
seem better and brighter. I am grateful that she has shown me how love makes
you happy. Her love for my dad is shown through the joy she brings to his life.
She brings happiness to her family.
Most importantly, when I think of my mother I think of
the way her caring personality has deeply influenced my life. She cares so much
for the people close to her. She is the only person I want to talk to when I am
sad or lonely. She understands her children and does all she can to care for
their needs. Her help and advice have been a guiding force in my life. On my
mission, her weekly emails meant so much to me. As a college student, our
weekly lunches are such a relief and comfort for me. My mom is loving, caring
and sensitive. She has taught me how to love and how to care for those I love.
I am so grateful for the many ways that my mother has
touched my life. Her love has always been a constant for me. I love her so much
and I am grateful to know that I am eternally linked to her. Happy Birthday
mom!
