Happy Birthday BurRITA


Happy birthday to my wonderful, fabulous, amazing mother. She has had a rough (understatement) couple of years. Cancer survivor (two different kinds), back problems, nerve problems, gut problems, sleep problems. I don't think she's slept a solid 4 hours in at least a year. Maybe more. I am so thankful for her, and pray daily that her physical burdens will be lifted. I miss her.

N. Eldon Tanner stated:

A mother has far greater influence on her children than anyone else, and she must realize that every word she speaks, every act, every response, her attitude, even her appearance and manner of dress affect the lives of her children and the whole family. It is while the child is in the home that he gains from his mother the contribution he will make to society.

I am so thankful for my amazing mom who continues to teach me strength, patience, and instilled in me a testimony of the gospel. I LOVE YOU MOM!!

Happy 29th Birthday...

I copied that quote and put it in my car, my room, and my wallet. It really hit me! Thanks for the lesson I was so needing. You too are an amazing mom. Keep up the good work. It reflects in your beautiful daughters.
