My mom is a great mom. She’s always been there for me - with straight-forward advice and loving support. Mom has always been my biggest advocate and champion.

I’d like to share a funny story about my mom’s positive attitude and confidence from when she first became a mom. After all the initial excitement after I was born, Mom was alone with me in her hospital room. She was examining my itty bitty fingers and toes and became quite pleased while reading the identification wristband:

“Baby girl Regis, A+, 01/13/73.”

Mom was so proud that she had gotten an A+ with me. The words “blood type” were completely overlooked. Mom knew she’d done a great job giving birth (and believed I was one grade A baby)!

As far as I’m concerned my mom has set the curve! If I was eligible I would totally enter my mom into the Bestest Mom contest. Since I can’t, I guess I’ll have to come up with another way to tell her how much she means and how great I think she is as my mom.
