Yep, that's the nickname my brother gave my mom, however many years ago. We call her "MD" for short. Well, Drew does, at least...
There are a few things everyone should know about Gwen Lords.
She is a sucker for a good head rub. It was the only thing I could offer to delay my bed time when I was little. It worked every time.
She is a goofball. She finds the most random things hilarious, and they never get old to her. To this day, Drew can say "Ashley used to have a big head... but then she grew into it" and my mom will laugh even though she's heard it a million times. (Only a select few of you will understand this joke. Consider yourselves lucky)
When we go shopping together and I try on something super cute, she just has to buy it for me. I can't tell you how many times I was told "Don't tell your father"
She has a comeback for everything, and they usually involve inflicting pain upon her children (don't worry, she hasn't followed through on any of them...yet :) )
She is one of the only women I know who will make the whole family sleep over in a parking lot just to be first in line to get beanie babies. True story.
(we told her to "pull a face." She pulled 2...)
She is an awesome crafter. She used to do craft shows, but now is into scrapbooking and card-making. She is dang good at it.
She provides the family with some seriously funny memories... (her famous "bum shake" when she gets up to bat at family baseball, doing leg lifts against the counter..all day long, quoting "did a dingo eat your baby?", during an FHE for investigators Tanner turned on the stereo on accident. My mom's ACDC CD came blasting out of it. Priceless.)
(This is her listening to my dad sing "American Pie" in the car. It was painful for everyone.)
She has the magic touch when it comes to children. They are all drawn to her. Out of all of the wonderful callings she has had, I think the calling she has now is her favorite, and most fitting. She is in the nursery :)
She will do anything in the world for her children. Her life is devoted to family.
She is the greatest example of service. She has such a kind heart, and is constantly blessing the lives of others.
She is completely in tune with the spirit. We know to never question her on things, because she is always right. She always knows what is best for us.
She can always tell when something is wrong, even when we think we are hiding it so well! And she always knows exactly what to say or do to make it better.
She is beautiful. Inside and out.
Happy Mother's Day! I love you mom :)
