Today is Mama Republican's Birthday.
And we wanted to take a moment to tell her how much she is loved. Mama Republican raised Mr. R. and now that I am a mother I realize motherhood is no joke. Mama R. raised Mr. R. to be well spoken and well read. She instilled in him to love his family feircely. She taught him to be generous with his time and talent. She taught him to save his pennies and to evalutate his purchases. She taught him how to love. They say a Mother is a Son's first love and she prepared him to show love to his future wife and family. Mr. R. is kind, patient, and he loves Pip and me with his full heart. Mama R. is responsible for that.
Mama Republican taught her sons to give back. She spent years in cub scout and boy scout camps planning events, setting up camp sights, and sewing badges. Grandmom Republican dutifully took her son's to church each Sunday and she raised Mr. R. to love Jesus and want our daughter to know the unconditional love of Christ. I am so thankful she raised boys who want to accompany their wives to church on Sunday. Mama Republican we are so thankful and grateful for you. Happy Birthday!
What a beautiful tribute to her, Hilary! And, she is blessed to have you for a daughter-in-law!
