My Mom

SUCH a sensitive topic now days. I love her sooooo much. I was NOT the nicest or easiest daughter. I am a lot nicer to her now than when I was younger. I'm still not the easiest. But I cannot find the WORDS to express how much I appreciate her. She is everything I need in a MOM!!! She loved me for 20+ years of Hell, and loves me still after all I put her through. She NEVER gave up on me. And now, I know just how much I have ALWAYS ALWAYS needed her.

I am sooooo glad to be back in Utah to be close to her. Not just because she does so very very much for us, but because I want to be close to enjoy the time with her.

Love at Home

There is beauty all around,
When there’s love at home;
There is joy in ev’ry sound,
When there’s love at home.
Peace and plenty here abide,
Smiling sweet on ev’ry side;
Time doth softly, sweetly glide,
When there’s love at home;
Love at home, love at home,
Time doth softly, sweetly glide,
When there’s love at home.
In the cottage there is joy,
When there’s love at home;
Hate and envy ne’er annoy,
When there’s love at home.
Roses blossom ’neath our feet,
All the earth’s a garden sweet,
Making life a bliss complete,
When there’s love at home;
Love at home, love at home,
Making life a bliss complete,
When there’s love at home.

Kindly Heaven smiles above,
When there’s love at home;
All the earth is filled with love,
When there’s love at home.
Sweeter sings the brooklet by,
Brighter beams the azure sky:
Oh, there’s One Who smiles on high,
When there’s love at home;
Love at home, love at home,
Oh, there’s One Who smiles on high,
When there’s love at home.

Jesus, show Thy mercy mine,
Then there’s love at home;
Sweetly whisper I am Thine,
Then there’s love at home.
Source of love, Thy cheering light
Far exceeds the sun so bright—
Can dispel the gloom of night;
Then there’s love at home;
Love at home, love at home,
Can dispel the gloom of night;
Then there’s love at home.
