A Note to Mom

By far this is no Hallmark card, but I would like to use this platform to write a note to my mom for Mother's Day. So here goes...


Lynda GRACE Simpson,

OK, stop the press!!! I know right now you have that look on your face (the motherly scowl) and in your mind you are thinking, did she just call me Lynda? No, let me set the record straight, I called you Lynda GRACE Simpson aka Mom.

On this day, I would like you to know the very reason why I emphasize GRACE.

When I hear the word or the name GRACE, I immediately think of you. I have come to define the name GRACE as the love given freely by God to me. To expand on that even more, I feel, GRACE is earned through faith, hope, and charity.

I know for a fact, that in my lifetime I have seen you exemplify perfect GRACE! Your faith in God is powerful, your hope that you have in me and our family is endless, and your charity toward others has set an admirable example.
Growing up I may not have been able to express myself the way I would have liked in order for you to know how honored and blessed I am to have you as a mother. However, I always new that if I ever had a little girl, I would be honored to have her share the name GRACE with such a fabulous woman. As I have grown older and wiser, your example has taught me how to earn some GRACE of my own. I don't come anywhere close to perfect GRACE, but I do my best to help guide all 4FLEMZ toward our faith, and I hope everyday that we challenge and inspire each other through new adventures and give back to our community and anyone in need.

I truly believe that you are amongst one of the many fabulous gifts God has put on this earth to show people how amazing GRACE truly is. So, today I would just like to say thanks for being you!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, Lynda GRACE Simpson!

Love your daughter,
Lisa
