I am officially becoming.... my mother!

Today, as Holly and I sat at Urban Standard.... one of our most favorite spots to eat lunch... I realized the blessing of having her home... for the one millionth time!!!! driving her around, me being in control of her life for just a day! What a day it was! buying her a few "necessary" clothing items!! LOL!!! trying to decide if Jim would mind! and then it hit me.... Jim wouldn't bat an eye!!! just to be with his baby girl! Of course he would've bought her that dress and those wonderful black shoes that were 40% off!! He would cut off his right arm to be there for her....as he would for both of our sons as well.... but there is a very special bond between Jim and Holly and I am forever grateful for that!!! I think its because SHE loves HIM so much... and always has and has always told him! I could learn alot from her in that area! I wish it was as easy for me to demonstrate my love for others like she does!!! It radiates from her and people truly desire to be around Holly because of that! She is a blessing like I can't describe! Shes everything I wish I had been.... and I am blessed to be her mother! Which leads me back to why I am becoming MY mother! Wow!! What more could I ask for? To be blessed with such a godly, loving, wonderful daughter as well as have the world's greatest mother in the whole world! Not to mention the world's best mother in law and daughter in law!!!! Ok.... I am a very blessed woman!
But.... as Holly and I split a half of a half a sandwich as well as a half of another sandwich.... and I asked for the knife to be the one doing the "splitting"...it hit me!!! I am not only becoming my mother.... i AM my mother!!!!! for those of you that know my mom and her sweet group of friends you will certainly get this!!! for those of you that don't.... use your imagination! They all go out alot together .... they split everything!!! we make fun of them!!! but guess what? They love to eat... they are not overweight.... they are all very fit and trim and gorgeous... and most of all, godly women that give of themselves like I've never experienced yet!!!! It wasn't my first clue that I'm becoming my mother.... I've had several, trust me! But it was my favorite!!! If I can split a half of half of a sandwich with my daughter.... shop with my daughter and buy her the things that she needs for important wedding events for her sweet roomate just as my mom did 20 or so years ago when we couldn't afford it.... if I can teach my daughter to trust in God for her livelihood... LITERALLY!!! If i can be excited about them living in Jackson, MS.... if I can sit patiently and not "fret" as much as I used to over where they will be next... if I can be thankful for the things that God has taught us over these last 4 months.... if I can trust God like never before for their safety and where they will live next.... then I AM MY MOTHER!!!! and i am forever grateful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
