(My mama's birthday was on the 7th I was busy celebrating it with her to get this post up in time:)

You are my one and only-
I can't tell you how much I admire and look up to you
We have quite the memories together
I don't know of another women that dedicated her life to her children like you did. There was no easy path for you. So you took the bull by the horns and raised us five kids with everything you had and guess what... you did a mighty fine job!
You never told us what to do or how to get there, you let us feel around in the dark until we were confident walking by ourselves. Thank you for letting me learn that way.
You sacrificed alot along the way, okay more than alot... however I don't ever remember you complaining
You gave us memories that may have been a lot of work at the time but that will last a lifetime for us: canyon lands, elephant hill, Easter egg hunts in the ravine, hikes in Zion, drives up farmington Canyon to listen to Conference... so many more
You were there for me right when my world fall apart. you didn't judge me. you picked me up slowly and showed me a better life by example. you changed my world.
My biggest fear in experiencing infertility was that i might not be able to be to my child what you were to me. i felt like i owed the heavens for what I got in you. I want to be the kind of mom to mason that you were to me: fair, honest, loving, respectful, choose my battles carefully and always be there whether at a distance or hand in hand.
Cj Caldwell i love you with everything inside of me.
Thank you for doing what you did for me, when you did and how you did.
You're the best!
