A little more on mom.

I can't sum up one person in a paragraph, so I am going to continue on this victim and then just jump around to others. 
Some of you have said she has energy. Did you know that she and her twin sister were born with a very rare kidney and liver disease? She is famous in the medical world too. She has not always had this energy. I never noticed because I was always around her, but others said up until she had her transplant that she looked yellow. Usually by 1 p.m. she was in bed taking a nap because there was no energy left. She was in the hospital a lot with kidney infections or kidney stones. Never blamed God or said "why me". She used to have to give herself shots! That is tough in my book. She was on a list for a transplant and received the liver and kidney of a 16 year-old boy. Since then her hair is thicker than it has ever been. Her nails are strong and long, and very pretty. She has tones of energy now. God is good. He can take someone who has been weak and make them strong. It wasn't just the doctors. God put great people in our family to make it possible for her to be taken care of from the best of the best doctors in the world.

My mom.

This is harder than I thought. Today I am going to talk about my mom. My mother is a funny woman. She lived for my dad, me and my sister, and now also for our children. I get a lot of my isms from her. It's scary sometimes, but I find myself doing a lot of the things she does. My oldest daughter is now picking it up and she too says stuff like "Oy Vay". She is a very talented crafty person. She doesn't just put a picture in a frame and call it a day. She makes the frame and everything in it. I mean really detailed work. If she made the paper she was using to decorate, it wouldn't surprise me.  I have always just thought of her as Mom. She started doing You Tube videos about all of the bargains she finds shopping, (the woman can shop and find a great bargain too!) She also shows the crafty stuff that she is working on and how she made it. She has a whole following. She is famous in the crafty You Tube world. I like watching her on there because I don't see her in that light. I always see the mom side, which is good but it is also nice to see she has so many other people that think she is great too. The joke is that someone one day will see her in Michael's and ask for her autograph. I am going to post her videos because she is so entertaining and talented. I was thinking of even making her a Facebook page too. nanajl54
