Today is Mother's Day and I just wanted to tell my daughter, Tiffany how proud I am of the mother she is to our granddaughter, KC. Tif has always been a person who thought of others even before herself and I'm seeing her raise her daughter with that same selfless devotion.
When Tif was a little girl, I wondered what sort of mother she would be. I find she is raising KC much as we raised her... with a great deal of love and firmness.
Tif has used every opportunity to provide KC with a variety of situations from trips to museums, zoos, shows, libraries to lots of play dates with friends to ensure that her knowledge of the world develops as much as she can absorb it.
Most importantly I've seen Tif exert firmness and discipline so that KC can be secure in knowing her mom has things under control. I just marvel at Tif's patience and unwavering love. Much of her daughter's care is left to her since her husband is often away on business. With all this taking her attention, she still makes sure we know she is thinking of us with calls, e-mails, thoughtful presents and Skype webcam calls. My mother says we are certainly blessed and on this special day I just wanted to wish Tiffany a very special Mother's Day. You make us proud, Tif!
Apparently the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, Kay. Good modeling of motherhood is one of the gifts you gave Tiffany. And isn't KC as cute as it gets? Love her little white outfit.
ReplyDeleteJean beat me with the 'apple' analogy! What a great mom you were as an example to follow. Take a bow, Kay!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a wonderful Mother's Day gift she is! And that's a perfect mother-daughter photo if I ever saw one. You're so lucky in your family, Kay. I hope you're having a wonderful time today, all of you. Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteThis banner beats them all. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI remember Tiffany as a child herself. Now she is the mother we are all proud of.
What a blessing to know your family. It gives me hope about the human race.
This is a wonderful tribute to your daughter. And I bet Tiffany is proud of her Mom!
ReplyDeleteYour banner photo is fantastic!
What a heartwarming tribute to your daughter. She obviously had a most wonderful mom and is being one to KC. How lucky KC is to have such strong, loving and devoted women in her life. Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jean, this apple certainly didn't fall far from the tree! Tif sounds like a fabulous Mom and I know exactly who she learned it all from. A beautiful tribute to a beautiful Mom from her own beautiful Mom! Hope you've both had a very Happy Mother's Day!
