This morning we said "Goodbye" to my dear mother as she began the 13-hour trip back home to Virginia!  She was such a blessing to our family during these last two weeks!  She came a week before the baby was born, learned our family homeschooling and homekeeping routine, then executed it the week after the baby was born so effortlessly that I had to wonder if she didn't miss her calling!  She sacrificially and lovingly served every member of the family in word, deed, and prayer! 

Her smiling face and teasing ways will be missed today as I take on the full responsibility of mothering, schooling, and homemaking with seven.  I must admit that this morning as she backed out of our driveway, I had to fight an overwhelming urge to run after her, throw myself at her mercy, and beg her melodramatically to take me with her!  But I know that even though she'll be 13 hours away, her prayers and loving example will be here in our home and in our hearts!  Blessings to you, Ma!  We love you and miss ya like crazy!

In His Love,

Tammy
