To the Most Incredible Woman I Know, a Mother’s Day Salute

To the woman who by her very name is a princess. My humorous, glorious princess.

Dearest Sarah,

Our family jewel. Precious and of the highest rank, you inspire and amaze all those who surround you. You are passionate and giving, slow to judgment and eager to listen.

You’re world has been flipped upside down.

And like a world-class gymnast, with grace and determination, you seek to conquer the greatest challenge you’ve ever faced.

When we found out about your cancer, we all felt the same.

SAD FACE.

But, because of your strength and humor, we hold on to great hope.

You are the strongest woman I know. And it’s not the 3 natural births that impress me.

Although, I can see why you proudly wear that badge. I’m a freaking wimp and need an Advil just thinking about it.

It’s the strength of our almighty God and His work in you as you hold firm and worship in spite of anything that stands in your way.

You’re a fighter.

I’m inspired and amazed by you daily.

Because you know no bounds.

You hold the line. And love deeply.

You’re the most loyal person I know. You stand up for those in your care.

And just as your brothers and sisters call you for support and encouragement,

I’ve learned so much from you.

Like how to rock a red wig.

But on this Mothers Day, my heart overflows where once it was dry.

You have made me the man I am today.

At last, my salute to the greatest woman I know in the only way I know how. With class (suit).

And a ridiculous-ness that would do anything for you (pose).

I love you honey.

May our family be forever in your motherly love.

…

Ohhh and Julia, too, desperately wants you to know how much we love and adore you.

Happy Mother’s Day, today and everyday!
