Happy Mother's Day!
I love my mom very much. That's easy, though, not because I'm her offspring, not because it's what's your supposed to do, not because god tells you to honor your parents. It's easy because Marie is simply the best mom there ever was.
Now, I know there will be people out there disagreeing, claiming the title for their own moms, but I must respectfully disagree. It's your right to be wrong, and I don't respect you any less, but wrong you are nonetheless.
So, a very Happy Mother's Day to Marie, and a big thanks to all she's done for me my entire life. She and my dad raised three of us boys and, I must say, went 3 for 3 in producing terrific people.
I gave my mom a Mother's Day card when I was in the first grade. Our teacher told us what to write:
My aim in life will always be
to make my mother proud of me
Still holds true today.

Jeff put into words what the rest of us have always felt. She is a terrific mom and I love her alot. She and my dad have always taught by example and did raise 3 great people. The last born being the best of course.
Jeff and Anthony know this is true.
Happy Mothers Day Mom!

Your's wins, hands down. She raised three, and adopted how many?

At some age in life, one learns that the love they gave to others comes back time after time. I have reached that time in my life's process. The sons we raised ( and adopted) have done us proud and all that we did was love them. Pretty good return on that investment. Thank you all for a wonderful Mom's Day tribute.
