I need a mom…

close to me.  Geographically.  I have been blessed by TWO (not one, but two!) of the greatest moms I EVER could have custom asked for.  Really – I’ve always know that my Mom was the best – the person I look up to, the advice I ask for, she is compassionate and generous, has character and integrity, she’s always serving other people, she loves with her whole heart, and she’s always there for me when I need her to be. For example, on a particularly bad day a few weeks ago, I called my mom.  She bought a plane ticket – that day, and I got to spend last weekend with her.  It was wonderful :)

And a few years ago, I got really lucky and married the man of my dreams, whose mother then became my amazing mom #2 – I really don’t know why my life is turning out so good!  I wrote down a list of words that describe my Mom Williams: crazy, open-hearted and open-minded, generous, adventurous, spontaneous, joyful, energetic, full of love.  She came to visit the weekend before my (original) mom, so I got two weekends of good momma TLC.  There are now 6 home-cooked frozen dinners in my freezer, not including leftovers.  My house is clean, and my shoulder/neck muscles are actually not sore OR tight.  Yes, I’m spoiled.  And I’m ok with that :)

Now I just need to actually live NEAR one of them, so all this goodness doesn’t have to be condensed into two weekends!
