My Mother

Today is my mom's birthday.
Happy birthday, Mama!


She is amazing. She is strong. She is the best story teller. She is a warm and comforting light. She is a hard worker. She is able to talking to ANYONE. She is a believer in Christ.  She is beautiful. She is an excellent student. She is loved by many. She is a powerful friend. She is a fierce protector of those she loves. She is a great hugger. She is a Sunday school teacher. She is incredibly intelligent. She loves me unconditionally. She puts up with me. She is hilarious!

Bethany Grace Gustafson - my precious baby girl! Thank you so much for this beautiful birthday gift. I am so blessed to BE your Mom and consider it my highest calling to be a fierce and tenderhearted Mama Bear for you and Kayla. You, my sweet girl, are bright and shiny and smart and beautiful and I love that you are bringing your gift of writing to the world. I am excited to hear that God is moving in you and doing battle against the old lies that - while comfortable - are cancerous to your sweet and gigantic heart. I love you and I thank you for blessing me in this lovely way. I will be warm and cozy all day pondering your words :) Love you baby girl. TMB (new name this weekend! Tenderhearted Mama Bear).
