A Tribute to the Mothers in My Life: Part 7

Motherhood is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to
be assumed by mankind. It places her who honors its holy calling and
service next to the angels.
--Heber J. Grant

My final dedication goes to my mother, Becky Gropp(Meme). I love her dearly and am so honored to have had her as my mother. She always took care of those she loved. She made it a point to help others feel important and special. She never tired of mothering. Mom taught me many things that I strive to do daily. Some of the most important things she taught by example. For instance : daily prayers, daily scripture study, healing hugs, church attendance, magnifying callings, a happy marriage(not always easy, but happy), cleaning house, Temple attendance, sharing the Gospel, getting an education, family dinners, striving to better oneself, and the list could go on and on. I know that I am who I am today because of her influence and am grateful. I try each day to be as good of a mother as she was(is).
I would never give up those difficult last few weeks with her. I cherish those memories and that time. What a blessing it was to care for such a remarkable person. I love her and ache for her deeply. Happy Birthday and Mother's Day Mom. I miss you!
