In honour of International Women’s Day, I want to take a moment to reflect on the most important woman in the world.
My mom.
It’s cliche and a little bit cheesy, but that’s how I roll. She is the most important woman to me & to our family and I want to make sure that she always remembers that.
In my 29 years on this planet, she has taught me and given me so much more than she will ever even know. Today I wanted to highlight just some of her lessons and gifts.
She taught me beauty and grace, because she has always possessed so much of both herself.
She taught me that many of the things we carry in life are worth their weight.
She gave me the gift of knowing that I am important everyday. Especially my birthday
She taught me how to care for living things.
She gave me the gift of family and taught me responsibility.
She taught me how to have fun. Sometimes I took that lesson to extremes… like my bachelorette.
She gave me strength and courage to start each chapter of my life.

Thank you Dawn! I’m so sorry for your loss, but I think it’s great to remember all the things you learned from her. Everyone we ever lose lives on in our hearts, memories and lessons.

I teared up a little bit as I read this. You are both quite lucky to have one another. I must admit I am envious. I wish I had a relationship like that with my mom!
Crys Wiltshire says
Thank you. I think any relationship takes a lot of work and some are easier than others. I truly hope I always work at and remain close with my daughter too.
