I'll start by "bragging" on my friend, Marjie. Marjie is one of the first teen moms I mentored through Teen MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers). She was seventeen and pregnant with her first baby. Right away, I knew I liked her.
In the last few years, Marjie has gotten married to Kenny, and has two more kids. She lives in Texas now, but we still enjoy talking on the phone. She has dedicated her life to Jesus and she's growing in her faith. Currently, she's also "growing" in other areas to. Marjie is in the process of getting her GED and she's being a "single mom" while her husband is in training for the National Guard. Things are challenging right now, but she's doing an AMAZING job. I'm sooo proud of her.
Happy Mother's Day, Marjie!
Tricia I have to agree that Marjie is like no other mommy I know. She is so loving and devoted to her children and her husband! She is truly and inspiration to me which seems a little strange to me because I am her older sister. When I need a reality check or a quick reminder of how I can carry on all I have to do is call Marjie. She is always there for me and she always reminds me why I love being a mom. She is so wonderful with her children and I am so proud of her!! Someday I hope I can live up to her example. Tricia thank you for realizing how wonderful my baby sister is!!
Happy Mother's Day everyone
What a great way to celebrate Mother's Day! We girls do need one another...no matter the age!

My amazing GenX friend is also my cousin. While we were growing up, Sharlyn was mostly just in mine and her sister's way - being that she was three years younger than us and all. I've watched Sharlyn marry and have a fabulous relationship with her husband, making the most of their ten-year marriage with vacations and projects - living life in spite of not being able to conceive a chile. And then...the remarkable. In 2004 Sharlyn & Chad became parents after thinking it might never happen - TWIN GIRLS! It was apparent from the very beginning that Chad & Sharlyn's relaxed, loving way with one another was instantly passed on to the girls. Never have I seen such a natural family, enjoying very obvious blessings. When it seemed things couldn't become any more blessed, well...you guessed it! Macy Alexandra joined her big sisters this past winter. Needless to say, Sharlyn's life was forever altered when she became a first-time mother in her mid-thirties. But she's never been more beautiful or fulfilled. We've all enjoyed watching the miracle in her life unfold.
That would be CHILD, not CHILE!!!
I love reading all these comments. I think all of us moms need a pat on the back once in a while . . .
The person I would like to brag about is my best friend and my sister. My sister desperately wanted a child and was blessed with a daughter (after a hard and life-threatening pregnancy). Her daughter is a huge light in her life! About a year ago, my sister was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The success rate of the risky surgery (without the tumor re-occuring) is low. The treatment makes her very sick. Still she keeps on with a positive attitude, setting a positive attitude for her daughter. She still works full-time (even though the doctors are stunned), keeps herself looking great and keeps a smile on her face...All that and always has time for her daughter. When I look at my daily challenges, I am so humbled. I wish that I could face everything with the happy, positive attitude that my sister does. She is an inspiration to me.
Wow, Sherry. Thank you for sharing about your sister. She sounds amazing!
