I wanted to give thanks to all the mothers, mothers-to-be and expecting mothers on their special day.
I am so grateful for the mothers in my life. One in particular; Connie Herrera my mother-in-law. This special lady has been a blessing since the day I met her. I have been married for 12 years on May 30 to my wonderful husband. Every day of our wonderful twelve years I have been so thankful for our relationship. Connie has provided moral support for us and our relationship since before we were married. I am thankful because it could very easily be the opposite type of a in-law relationship. Connie is generally interested in us. Not just my husband, but in my success and happiness. A true mother if you ask me.
Mom's help us through all parts of our lives. Thank you Connie for your time, honesty (yes I promise we will have kids one day), strength, knowledge, caring, thought fullness and support. I wouldn't be the person I am today with out your help. I also love your cooking. You make the best breakfast and tamales.
In the many years of us knowing each other Connie has also been a mom to her other children (total of 4 and 1 grandchild at home) and each of her 11 grandchildren. She always finds the time to call and check in on us. She makes sure we are okay and to come visit us regularly. Connie has been to both my graduation, weddings, birthday and major part of our lives and I just can't thank her enough. Connie you are truly a special person in my life & I hope that I can be half the mother you are. You are so dedicated! We just love you & hope your mother's day is as special as you are.
I have many people to whom I also give thanks too, but this blog is specifically for Connie.
Besides being a full time mom, grandmother of 11 she runs a cafe in Mason, TX (Pontotoc). If you are ever driving through hwy 71 from Llano to Brady or in Mason stop by her taco shop in Pontotoc. Connie makes the best enchiladas, tamales & hamburgers.
