For my mom's birthday...

It’s my mom’s birthday, and now it’s all about her,
And yet another year has gone by with such a blur.
It’s hard to stop and thank her for all she does for us,
I could fill the screen just starting to discuss.
She comes to our house, and watches our kids,
Makes the meals, and the sippy cups with lids,
She doles out the kisses, and hugs and advice,
She puts them before her and never thinks twice.
She washes all the bottles and the pump parts,
And that’s all before her day even starts.
Takes the kids on her errands, and then to crafts,
Her and Chloe share jokes and plenty of laughs.
She snuggles Jeremy day in and day out,
She loves those grandkids without a doubt.
She makes sure Jason and I get a dinner date,
Drops what she’s doing, “I’ll watch them, it can wait.”
She is selfless and caring and so full of love,
There so much more than I’ve mentioned above.
So I hope you hear what we’ve had to say,
We love you so much NaNa and Happy Birthday!

  2. Made me tear up, too.
    I am blessed with 3 of the best grandbabies in the world. Lucky to be close enough to 2 of them to be a near-daily part of their lives, too.
    Thank you for such a sweet tribute, Colleen. I love you, Jason, and your sweet family "too" much.

  4. I knew Amy was a great gal before Colleen was even made. What has taken the rest of the world this long to find that out? She's been making me laugh for years, is a great adventurer, loves to tease the men and little kids, will tell you the truth even if it hurts cause she knows what's best for you, raised the most awesome daughter all by herself, worked hard her whole life to support that daughter and would give you the shirt off her back if need be. I think the woman needs to be Mother of the Year for sure. I'm sending my future grandkids to her house too. Love you Amy, Jean
