how do you adequately repay or thank someone who...
left her home and life for 2 months to help you,
sacrificed her leg to save your son,
did endless loads of your laundry,
spent hours with you and your babies at the hospital,
was your sons constant playmate,
always let you shower first,
watched your 3 kids while you ran almost every day,
cleaned your house,
watched your 3 kids so you and your husband could go on dates,
could count on one hand who many times she slept through the night in the last 60 days,
did endless loads of your dishes,
taught your son a joke and lots more,
fed your babies bottles,
worked in your yard with a broken leg,
crawled up the stairs to make sure your son got his nap,
put up with lots of different moods,
"scooched" around the floor with your son,
let your son boss her around,
got up so that you could sleep,
bought your family lots of nice gifts,
made your toddler laugh,
made your babies smile,
watched Toy Story & Elf a million times,
mopped your floor with a broken leg,
often missed Dancing With the Stars and Modern Family,
built lots of lego towers,
bought you In-n-Out,
never once complained,
laid on the floor to play "ball" with your toddler,
held your babies for hours and hours,
changed way too many diapers,
lived out of a suitcase for 2 months,
always offered to get you a glass of water,
left her couch & bed,
watched your kids so you could go to church,
shared her Pepsi,
only took 2 days off,
left warm paradise for cold Utah,
cleaned up toys endlessly,
fed your son breakfast more often than you did,
read The Night Before Christmas as often as wanted,
was your babies second mom,
was your toddlers best friend,
was your lifesaver...
not sure there is anyway to adequately repay or thank such a person...
i'm just so glad, lucky, and blessed that she is my mom!
we will miss you mimi!!!!

FancyNancy, CrazyMom, whatever name she goes by your mom is AWESOME!! What you wrote to her was perfect. Reminds me of things my mom would do.....and that you will someday do for your kids. That's just what great moms do!!
So sweet. Love that lady.
Totally in tears when I was reading this. What a journey it has been for all of you. Mrs. Friendly is really amazing! Good luck this week Caisa, you will be great. One day at a time.
