the lack of recognition<br \/>\nyou get, and for hanging in there through thick and<br \/>\nthin &#8211; My hat is off to you all.<\/p>\n<p>Without a doubt, you&#8217;re a special breed.<\/p>\n<p>I want to acknowledge all Moms here &#8211;

whether her own family<br \/>\nor for others in need. \u00a0She was truly one who would<br \/>\nhelp anyone &#8211; from a neighbor to a complete stranger.<\/p>\n<p>I hardly ever heard her say anything negative about<br \/>\nanyone&#8230;she almost always could find some redeeming<br \/>\ntrait in even the worst of humanity and tell them so.<\/p>\n<p>Always a positive outlook. \u00a0Always helping others.<br \/>\nAlways loving. \u00a0Always giving.<\/p>\n<p>Funny thing, I married a gal just like her. \u00a0One who<br \/>\nnever gives up on her own children and is always<br \/>\nencouraging them. \u00a0And she puts up with all my antics<br \/>\nand laughs at all my bad jokes. \u00a0She gives all to<br \/>\nher kids and me and thinks of herself and her needs<br \/>\nlast.<\/p>\n<p>Prov. 18:22 \u00a0&#8220;Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing,<br \/>\nand obtaineth favour of the LORD.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Certainly &#8217;tis true in my life.<\/p>\n<p>So &#8211;
