To all my other Mother’s thank you for all the love and care that you have given me all these 32 years.

To my awesome partner in parenting Ashley. You are an awesome mother. You love and care for all children especially the two that are ours. You set a great example to what a mother can be.

To my mother. I have no words, you have loved me unconditionally. Watching alzheimer’s and dementia take over your beautiful grace-filled mind has been painful. I miss your ability to sew such beautiful native american regalia. I miss our phone conversations. I am angry that alzheimer’s and dementia has been apart of our journey. But you still smile that great smile that you have. You still give great hugs and most important of all your still here and for that I am so thankful. Mom you really are the best and I love you so much.

To all the mother’s out there may your day be filled with warm hugs and lot’s of love.
