With my mom at my bridal shower this past Saturday.  I kept stealing glances at her throughout the shower.  She was laughing and smiling so much.  I think I could’ve just watched her the whole time.  Her willingness to enter so fully into her daughter’s joys despite everything broke my heart with gratitude.  Surely this is His kindness.

She also told everyone about how I shaved half my eyebrows off when I first tried shaving/plucking my eyebrows in junior high.  And how I’d sneak on make-up at school and wipe it off before coming home.  And how she’d catch me with the remnants on my face.  Yup.  That’s m’mom.  Keepin’ it real. ;]
