her husband also, and he praises her:
“Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Proverbs 31:28-30

I had to quit because I'm tired and this list is exhausting to even think about. I can't even imagine how my mom does all of this for me (occasionally on a daily basis...), not to mention for my brothers too. She does it all without expecting any recognition or thanks. She doesn't get paid, and her benefit package doesn't even include days off for sickness, vacation or holidays.
Momma, I am thankful for you. I'm proud to say I'm Kim Kennedy's daughter. I love you and I hope one day to be even half the mom and wife you are. Thank you for everything you do. Also, congratulations - you got the job of Super Mom 23 years ago ;)
Thank you for making me a mom. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect daughter and thank you for the kind words. I am so undeserving but so very humbled. I love you and your brothers with all of my heart. I thank God for you 3 and I ask Him to continue to guide me in guiding you three with knowledge, wisdom, and love for Him.
