He who knows not,

and knows not that he knows not,

is a fool;

shun him.

He who knows not,

and knows that he knows not,

is a child,

teach him.

He who knows,

and knows not that he knows,

is asleep;

wake him.

He who knows,

and knows that he knows,

is wise;

follow him.

I grew up with lots of Love, nurturing, support, and encouragement.

My mother has always taken pride in being a mother. Her maternal instincts are on point. My mother didn’t have it easy raising me or my sister, but she certainly made it seem easy.

My mother stepped up to the motherhood plate and a lot of the time she carried the fatherhood plate too.

You know that saying “when life throws you lemons make lemonade?”

My mom can turn lemons into the best lemonade you’ve ever had in your life!

My mother definitely got that parenting thing down to a science.

We never wanted for anything, we never got into any trouble, we did well in school, and neither of us ever gave my mother any problems.

When you have a mother like mine, every day is Mother’s Day.

My mother has a smile that lights up any room.

My mother is patient.

My mother is kind.

My mother is understanding.

My mother is compassionate.

My mother listens.

My mother does not judge.

My mother cooks our favorite foods and still makes us home made soup when we get sick. My mother loves and accepts me for who I am. My mother is a giver and a helper by nature. I have seen my mother graciously provide food, shelter, love, support, and encouragement to others on numerous occasions throughout my entire life. I admire my mother and the example that she has set. I’ve learned so much from my mother over the years and at 33 I’m still learning.

Thus far, one of the most valuable lessons my mother has taught me is:

The ABC’s

A ll things work to the greater good

B e Yourself

C hoose your friends wisely

D on’t worry

E verything happens for a reason

F orgive and don’t hold grudges

G ive graciously

H appiness is priceless

I nvest quality time

J ust do your best

K eep God 1st

L ove unconditionally

M ake time for fun

N ever give up

O bserve your surroundings

P atience is a virtue

Q uality over quantity

R espect is earned

S ay what you mean and mean what you say

T reat people the way you want to be treated.

U nderstanding (having the right understanding is important)

V alues

W hat is done in the dark, always comes to light.

X oxo (lots of hugs and kisses)

Y ou reap what you sow.

Z eal for life equals living life abundantly

~Marilyn~

I Love you mom.

I am thankful and proud to have such a phenomenal woman as my mother.
