I wish everyone could know my mom. She's easy to love because she's so happy, sweet and sensible. People are naturally drawn to her for advice because she knows something about everything and she'll willingly share if you ask. Not in that annoying know-it-all kind of way, but in a I truly want to help you if you need it sort of way. She's amazing. She comes from quite a long line of broken marriages and sad love stories, but when she was a teenager she made a decision to be different. To break the cycle. To be happily married to someone who'd provide stability and love for her and her future family. Then she found my dad. Stable and loving pretty much describe him perfectly. They are perfect for each other. And throughout my life I have always known 2 things - that my parents love me and that they will always be there when I need them. Most of you don't know my parents and won't ever have the chance to meet them, but I have great news. My mom now has a blog - A Slice of Time. And she told me (and I think this is so cute) that my dad reads all of her posts before she publishes them. He's kind of her husband/editor. That fact alone shows they've got something special going on. Her blog is everything she is - upbeat, inspiring, and full of those life stories that make you stop and reevaluate yourself. She makes you want to be better. I absolutely guarantee you will love what she has to say, not to mention probably get a few ideas for that Sunday lesson you might be teaching soon!
