Its been some time since I posted but I can't help to think this is the perfect place to send my mom Mothers Day wishes and ask my friends for a little help. This Mothers Day is really different with a lot of happiness and a little sadness. I have to share and want my mom to know just how much I love her.
My mom and dad took us in when we were little and raised as their own. They had 5 kids of their own and gave us all a good life but it seems my mom and dad have been through so much yet they will never stop giving and caring about people.
Giving and caring to their friends and family, to total strangers and to the community. I love her so much for that, if anyone ever understood pay it forward, yes it is my mom, many of the traits I have come directly from her. To me she is amazing and I think many would agree.
Thank God, for my mom, they don't come any tougher than her. She takes such good care of my dad and the family in Alabama. She won't hesitate to lend a helping hand to those in need. My mom has to stay busy...she is in everyones business...in a good way..reaching out..loving and giving. It's what she does. That's my mom.
My mom is a great grandmother not once but twice so far. The joy these babies bring to her is simply divine..there are no others words to describe it. If you don't know my mom and dad live in Alabama and is surrounded by some of the family.
It's where my mom feels at home and it's the happiest I've ever seen her. To me its seems to be a hard life but its not to her, I know she wouldn't trade it for anything. Well I'm not sure anymore.
Cullman Alabama was struck by tornadoes, for a bit I was freaking out but thanks to text messaging I learned my family was safe.
Fortunately they now have power and they have each other. My mom doesn't need much more than that but I am sure that she is crying inside witnessing the loss, devastation and sadness that her friends and community are experiencing today. I could use a little help from my friends..and so could the folks in Cullman Alabama. Here is how you can help:
1. Post a heart felt comment to the folks in Cullman Alabama and let them know they are not alone and remind them the good people of the world truly care and whatever they do, DO NOT to lose faith and hope. Feel free to re blog, share it or copy..it doesn't matter to me..I just want the message out there. For my family and for my family's community.
2. Wish my mom a happy Mothers Day in the comments below...if you know her and she has impacted your life in any way..please let her know of if you don't please send her some good cheer. My mom's name is Ruth Terwilliger, she will respond to mom, mother, momma, ma, nanny, grandma, honey and occasionally she'll remember her name is Ruth. :)
3. Do what you can to help the good people of Cullman Alabama, join the fanpage and see what they need. I think its the best way as they are fully aware of where to ship goods, send money or help those who are in dire need. Tell them the proud daughter of Ruth Terwilliger sent you or better yet Ruth Terwilliger sent you.
I love you mom and miss you all very much..and to you good folks in Alabama, you'll be ok..ask my mom, she tell you that whatever obstacles u go through in life..you have to keep the faith and always be hopeful and whatever you do...keep going!
