The mom who:
loved Jesus,
taught me to love Jesus,
thought my dad was the greatest man on earth,
loved to watch football,
had a heart for missions,
encouraged me to play sports,
prayed for me daily,
attended all of my sporting events,
watched preachers on tv before going to church on Sundays,
made sure the fridge was stocked with my favorites every time I visited,
suggested that I attend graduate school at Texas Tech,
took me shopping for new school clothes every year,
gave food and money to those in need,
always fell asleep on road trips with her mouth wide open,
was a servant,
harassed Hardin-Simmons until they raised my scholarship money level,
tried her hardest to give special gifts even when they were unappreciated,
thought of my husband as her own child,
and
loved my kids with her whole heart.
