Big Shoes to fill

I have decided to devote today's post to my Mom because I don't need a special day to think about how amazing she is. There is no humanly way to put into words everything that I want to say about her. She was, is and alway will be my hero...my mentor...and the person I most look up to. I thought that I always appreciated her and thought she was pretty great my whole life....but I didn't get 'it' until I became a mom myself! I will always look at her path as the yellow brick road! In my mind it is plated in gold and it shimmers in the sunlight. I jump on it for a moment and I realize that they are the biggest pair of shoes I have ever jumped into. I take what I can off of that path and I jump back onto my own. I can't stay on it long because if I were to try my whole life to live up to her legend in my mind, I would never measure up. She is the most humble woman and she is going to not believe that these words are about her because in our own minds it is hard to see ourselves in this light. But I know that all my brothers and sister think she is a Saint and she in nothing short of 'perfect' in my mind. I love you with all my heart Marsh and I am so thankful that God chose me for you. Thank you for showing me a beautiful soul, a gracious heart and a humble mind to model myself after. I have to practice more, but I am getting there:) I think of you everyday and wish that I could be closer. I Love You! Thank You for all that you do.
