Mama G

Well, I have a lot to catch up on and tell y'all about. But today there is something very important I want to share with ya first. Or, I suppose I should say someONE.

I want to write a little about my mother-in-law. She is an absolutely wonderful woman, and someone that I've come to respect highly and really look up to.

Here is a woman that puts her children and family first. She makes it a point to make those close to her a priority. She is compassionate, loving, accepting - and I have not been an exception to this.

We have had similar medical experiences that gave us a bond and an understanding in each other early on. It was pretty powerful. (I even let her massage my feet. Anyone who knows me really well would understand the significance of that.)

It has been so wonderful having someone that understands my circumstances, that has lived through them and knows what I need and what I need to hear, and is so willing to use her time for me. I will be eternally grateful that she has been placed in my life, and for the positive influence she is for me.

I won't start listing all the things she has done for me, and for Nathan and me, because you might fall asleep trying to make it through the LONGG list. But that isn't the point of this post. I have been greatly  blessed and feel the desire to share it! Mama Grif is the sort of woman that should be written about. She is the sort of person that should be recognised and acknowledged. She is one of the strongest people I have ever met, who has experienced things no one should have to face. But then has turned around and made her life about being a positive force in the world, about spreading goodness and service.

I love you "mum"!!
