Just the thoughts of one daughter of the King of Kings, a wife, a mother, a sister and a friend.

Happy Mother's Day!

Some days I miss my mother, Lanakila.  Here's a photo of her. Wasn't she beautiful? :)  I regret not knowing 
her better.  I wish I would have asked more questions... talked to her more... learned more about my Hawaiian roots.  I wish I were close to her siblings.  I am definitely looking forward to seeing her again in Heaven!  What a glorious day it will be to see my Savior, Jesus, and all of my loved ones that have gone on before us.  I hope I get the chance to talk with her more about our family.

I am certainly grateful and thankful that God sent me my sister/mom, Loni Dobbins.  She raised my sister & I even when she didn't birth us and didn't have to.  She's loves us unconditionally, she's sacrificed so much for us... for her family.  She's my rock, she's my mom, she's my best friend!  I'm so grateful to have her!  I love her more than words can say.  I couldn't have asked for a better mom and home to grow up in. She and my dad taught me to love as Christ loved. They built my foundation of faith.  And for that alone, I could never thank them enough!



I'm also blessed to be the Mommy to 4 beautiful children.  Taylor (15), Kiara (12), Bella (5) and Alyssa (3).  I am honored that God saw me fit to raise these beauties!  I love them with all my heart.  I pray that they will always know how much my heart beats for them.
