First of all this is Tiffany, and second of all my mom doesn't know I'm doing this, and might not for a while, but i just figured this would be a good way to tell her how much i love her. I know i know mothers day is still a few days away but why not get an early start. My mom means the world to me. She is my best friend. She is the one i ask questions like; Does my hair look ok? Is what i have on ok? Can I go out with friends? It's always about me. . . I rarely take the time to see what she has going on or to listen to her and her needs. And the crazy thing about it is she never complains. . I watch her and think how can she do it all?! She has 6 well 7 kids to worry about right now, a busy body three year old, four teenagers and two talkative girls, one husband like twenty loads of laundry of more a week, meals, house cleaning, calling, and then she needs her time which ends up being the twenty minutes she goes tanning. Mom, i don't tell you enough how much I appreciate you. Thank you for all the times you have left me a note telling me you loved me, cleaning up my room, taking me on little day dates and the list goes on. I don't think that words can express the gratitude i feel for you! As the time for me to leave home is getting closer and closer, I am not sure that I can leave you. Who will be the one to comfort me, or to laugh with me, or cry with me? You are an amazing women. If i grow up to be half the mom, half the wife, half the women you are i will be well off! Thank you for helping me strengthen my testimony, thank you for teaching me how to take care of a home. Mom I love you so much! i hope you have a wonderful mothers day, Love your daughter Tiffany

Tiffany - Thank you for sharing that with your mom. It made me cry. I sure do love your mother, too! She is quite amazing - seems to be able to find time to do everything. I have trouble figuring out my own life and I don't have any kids!
You, Tiffany, have been a very good student of your parents. You will be a wonderful wife and mother and a great asset to society and especially to the Church. You will be able to fill every calling and need with intelligence and gusto. You are amazing yourself and I am proud to be in your family.
Yvette - I appreciate the fact that your children love you so much. It speaks volumes as to your love for them. Watching you through these years has been a joy. You have been a very good friend and I continue to look forward to many years with you and Shea and your beautiful, talented, wonderful, honest, upright children!
LOVE YOU, TOO!
Tiff, I don't know you very well. My memories of you are of the cute little songs you would sing at the Sherwood Reunions in Nutrioso, but I have to say that I too got teary eyed reading your words to your Mother. What an awesome tribute to her! Your right - she is obviouly a great mother to have raised such a sweet and thoughtful daughter. I'm so glad you can recognize and appreciate how blessed you are. I'm sure she feels the same way about you and will cherish the words you've said.
Tiffany- What a great girl you are. Your mom has taught you well. That was such a sweet post. It is nice to see that their are people like you that truly care and are thinking about your mom. Thanks for your thought.
Yvette- The apple does not fall far from the tree. Your kids are amazing and you have done a good job with them. You are a good example to all of us. Thanks for that. Have a good day.
That is so sweet Tiffany - You do have a great mom - She's a great lady! and does so much for everyone! Yvette - have a wonderful Mother's day - you're doing a great job!!
Ok, so Tiffany brought back a ton of memories, and yes tears. I remember when you were graduating from high school and the thought of you leaving me was unbearable. I leaned on your "expertise" in the high school world and with mom and dad-what would I do without you?! I can totally feel for Tiffany right now, but she will do great because she had you to help her get to this point and now all she has to do is jump! I am so glad that I have had you for an example all my life! Thank you for everything Yvette, I love you!
Hurry and read this Bett. What an awesome tribute to a great Mom. I love your family! We are looking forward to having that special girl in our home soon. Happy Mother's Day!
That's so sweet. I love your family! I'm glad I got to see you guys at Mindi's reception. I wish I would have got the chance to visit with you more.
Oh Tiff. What a special time! I'm sure you and your mom will be okay. (Remember in Hitch though when he says "What if I want to be more than okay?" That's probably how you feel.) Just know you can still be close to your mom. That's one amazing thing about moms these days. They can not only take care of the people right around them and those who still live at home, but the ones who live away as well. I still talk on the phone daily with my mom just because she knows I need it. It's quite selfish really, but I know she doesn't mind because she is my MOM. I know your mom will be like that. What a beautiful thing. I love you and your awesome mom so much. I'm excited for both of you to begin this new part of your lives.
