A man at Church told a story of how his Grandmother, at age 94, kept asking him how his father was doing. After the third or fourth question regarding his father's health and activities she got a sparkle in her eye and admitted, "You never stop being a mother, do you?"
Today I watched Isac stand before a congregation and sing songs with the Primary about mothers. Tears welled in my eyes. I imagined how I'll feel when I am 94 and he is a grown man. I'm sure I'll still be questioning others about him, praying for him, and wanting the best for him and all of my children.
My mom has proven to me that you never stop being a mother. She stays connected with me, persuades me to go to the doctor when I'm sick, reminds me to go to the temple when I need spiritually uplifted, and validates my efforts as a parent. She is my friend.
I've made a little movie to honor her today. I hope she feels of my love and gratitude today, and always.

This is absolutely beautiful--the best Mother's Day present a mother could get. From a co-worker and friend of Dee Ann's.
Amy, what a beautiful tribute to your wonderful mom! I bet she had a very hard time viewing this through her tears, I even shed a couple just watching it. No wonder you are such a precious wife and mother to our grandson and great granchildren, you take after her so much! Thanks for sharing this with us! Love you!!
