May the 4th be with you...

(be aware of mushy content, you have been warned)
Ok so maybe it's not May 4th but who cares. This weekend is Mother's Day, and I just wanted to take the opportunity to say I have a mom. I know that may seem trivial but I feel like everyone has a mother, someone who birthed you, but not everyone has a MOM. There is a big difference there too although many people might not see it. I know being a parent in general is a tough thing and I am by no means knocking the job. I am just saying that it takes a special person to be a mom and this BLOG is devoted to the mothers out there who are moms as well. I have been so blessed in my life that I had the care and cookies of the one we call Mom around the McFee house. No matter how many times we disagreed or agreed she was always looking out for me and thinking about my future. There is no way I would have gotten all those applications finished, forms turned in, homework assignments done right and assigned chapters read without her. Without her I wouldn't have learned the hard way that basketball goals and vans don't mix, no matter how much concrete is loaded in the pole. I wouldn't have ever worn anything that didn't have wrinkles or probably even had clean clothes at all. The amount of times my mom took me to things, basketball games, football practice, comic book shops and movies that she had no interest in, but you never would have known it, is uncountable.

Thank you Mom.

As an additional note not only am I lucky enough that my mother has done all things things but I also have grandmoms and a mom-in-law that go out of their way to make sure that I have everything I need. And I know my wife is not a mom yet but I don't know what I would do without her either, I know that someday there will be somebody writing about her this way as well.
