Lesson #1: Hair and Boobs are NOT Everything!!!
Dear Jeanie,
The other day when you went in for your MRA, you had to take off all your clothes, and even your wig! The nurses and staff were amazed by you. You simply stated, "Hair and Boobs are NOT Everything!" You talked to them about your marriage with your sweet husband who still loves you no matter what. You even joked about crawling into bed with them when it is pitch black so it doesn't matter anyway!
You taught me so many lessons in that simple conversation. First of all, that you can find humor in the bleakest of circumstances. Second, that inner beauty is truly everything! You show this by words and action to all 5 of your daughters, and to your 14 grand-daughters. How blessed we are to have you! The world puts so much emphasis on Big boobs and Beautiful hair. But not you. You taught us to value TRUE beauty.
The Third thing that you taught me from this simple phone call is that you can be yourself! You aren't afraid to show anyone who you are, talk about where you came from, or your story! I love you for that Mom. Thanks for making me laugh today, and realize that I am Beautiful!!!
Love,
Kristin

Dear Jeanie,
Happy Mother's Day Mom! The other day I was on the phone with you and you said something that inspired me to create this blog for you! "Oh Kristin, you would have all survived without me!" Well, I got thinking about this and every moment of the next day, I found you everywhere. You were in my hands while I burped my little Lydia, the way that I cooked a fried egg for breakfast, and even in the flowers that I planted in the backyard.
So I simply decided to SHOW you that I couldn't have survived without you. This blog is dedicated to you! Each week I am going to post at least one lesson that I have learned from you! 52 ways in which I was changed by you! Each year I try to express to you how grateful I am to you by writing you a love note on Mother's Day. But this year will be different. You will have 52 letters or more that let you know that I couldn't have done it without you, and that I will always need my Mom!
Love,
Kristin
