Happy Mother's Day to you! You are such an amazing person and have influenced the lives of everyone you have met, especially sweet E! She is so lucky to have you as a mom!
P.S. I'm going to ignore the 2 pictures you posted of me, lets just get some better ones when these babies are out ;)
You are so sweet! I hope you had a very happy mother's day. And I have to say thank you- thank you for being such a good example and loving your little girl... for being a good friend and neighbor and for all the warmth- you fill up my heart.
We are so blessed. When we can see clearly how wonderful life can be when we live with open hearts... the sky is the limit on the amount of JOY that there is in store for us. Isn't it awesome?
It's a privilege being your MOM, friend... and helper from time to time. It goes both ways. Thank YOU for making me a mother, for being YOU. MIMI asked me the other day: " When will I make you laugh as much as Marci makes you laugh?"... It's true that you make me laugh so hard...
MIMI can hold her own though. All of you have brought me more happiness and JOY than I ever expected. I say it all the time and I will say it again:
" My cup runneth over"
I love you to the HIghest.
MOM
thanks for featuring me in your mother's day post, i LOVE those pictures. starts bringing back the 7, 8, 9 years of memories... whew.
i too am grateful for all the special women and moms in my life. we are amazing humans. i am especially glad that your life and my life run a tangled web so that we can always stay in touch.
especially when wade & ellie start talking to each other on facebook (because we made them become friends) and then they become great friends, which turns into love and then marriage and then babies... well you know the drill. i've got it all planned.
hope you had a wonderful mother's day. and hope to see you & mike again soon. we love you guys.
Marce, I'm so glad we've been able to remain friends even though you're not here anymore! You are so great and I love you and your family to pieces.
Very sweet post, thanks Marc! I loved looking at all the pictures. Happy Mothers Day!
