Moms

Today is the day before Mother's Day. I'm thinking about my moms and wanted to blog about them. Yep, I have three moms and they're all great. I'll tell you about them.
My mom is Sandra. She brought me home from the hospital and fed me, bathed me, changed my poopy diapers. She taught me to be the person I am today. She is an amazing musician and taught me to sing and perform. Anyone coming to our house growing up would get a concert by the Bleak girls. Anyway, I love that my mom is a doer. She can do anything. If she says she'll do it, she will. Her testimony has been strong throughout her whole life. What an example she is of a disciple of Christ. I love her with all my heart and always wish the best for her!
My next mom is my birth Mother, Joyce. I met Joyce in 1997, on mother's day weekend. When she was 21 she found herself pregnant with me but unmarried. She knew she needed to give me a family so she went to my dad and he delivered me and then took me home. What a blessing she is in my life. She gave me such a wonderful life. After having my own children I'm not sure how she gave me up but it was selfless and kind. She is an amazing grandmother to my children. She is a go getter and I love that I look a little like her. She is an amazing mother to all of her children and I'm so grateful to have her in my life.
My last mother is my mother in law, Launa. I hestitate to call her mother in law because I love her like she is my own mother. I think Todd married me because I look like her. When she visits lots of people think she is my mother. Launa gave my husband life. She raised 5 children to adulthood and is now selflessly raising two grandchildren. She is one of the most giving people I know. She has aged beautifully and I'm glad my kids have her genes. Unfortunately Todd has her genes too so he'll always look younger that me.
These three women have influenced my life in ways beyond what I can say in a post. All I know is I love them for they're gifts and talents and endless love towards me and my family!
Happy Mother's Day
