I'd like to dedicate this post to my mom, Julie Catherine Delaune Trauth.
My mom is by far the best mom. I know that some might argue you that, but it is true. Words cannot describe the amount of love, gratitude, and admiration I have for this woman. She is the kind of woman who, along with my father, raised three children to not only love the Lord, but follow Him with all their heart. She is beautiful both inside and out and taught us to find the beautiful part of horrible situations. My mom is generous, caring, self-sacrificing and the most encouraging person I know. No matter if it was a little note on my lunch bag when I was in school, or a care package when I was in college, or a card in the mail as an adult, I knew I was always on her heart. She always says to me, " love you to bits and pieces" and I think it makes me cry every time I hear those words. She is the person I want to lay my head on when I am sick so she can play with my hair, she is the person I want to tell all my secrets, and she is the person I want to talk to on the phone everyday. She is not only a mother, but a friend who I don't know what I would do without. In short, she is amazing.
I've always hoped to be a mom like her, one day. I still dream of that day, and if I'm lucky I will have a little girl I could name after my mom. But, for now I'm eternally grateful that she is my mom, my friend, and my confident. To you mom - this is your Day and I'm sad none of us kids could be with you. But know we love you with our whole heart.

I know I did nothing to deserve a daughter like you :) You are more of an encouragement and example of Christ to me than you will ever know--I am humbled and blessed that He chose me to be your Mom-thank you for your sweet and loved filled words, a greater treasure to me than any gift wrapped trinket could be--love you to bits & pieces :)
