Mother’s Day
There are very few things that every person in the world has in common with each other. That said, every person in the world has a mother. I am sure everyone has different stories about their time with their mothers and unfortunaltey some never knew their mother.
I write this today because I am one of the lucky ones. I have spent the last 28+ years getting to know my mother. Many of you out there know my mom, and I am sure that the sentiments I share in the paragraph or two below will be echoed.
For as long as I can remember, my mom has spent every spare second of her time supporting her “kids” in everything they were participating in. I say “kids” because it is not just my sisters and me. I cannot count the number of people I call “brother” or “sister”.
For instance, two weekends ago, I took my university students to San Antonio and the people we stayed with are my “brother” and “sister” that were “adopted” by my parents while they were in college at Abilene Christian University. I have a “sister” in Dallas, a “sister” in Las Vegas, another “sister” in Lewisville and I could go on.
The lives that have been impacted by the love that my mother shared are inumerable. Please note, that because of the love shared 20+ years ago, college students today are reaping the benefits. The cycle is endless all because of this incredible woman. I could continue to tell about the “Cooper kids” or the countless other people that she has loved over the years.
For the years of “soccer mom”, to Bible Bowl, to more “soccer mom”, to adopt a student programs, track manager, and now most importantly Nana, I thank you mom! You are truly an inspiration to me and I thank you for all that you have done. I love you!
