Carrie shares: “I won the mother-in-law lottery when Pat came into my life. I never had a good relationship with my mother. When I met my now-husband, Tim ,20 years ago and was introduced to his parents – I was like oh wow – this is what a mom really looks like. And, since that day she has been such a blessing in my life. She has truly been the kind of mom I always wish I had growing up.
She is kindhearted, selfless, compassionate and goes above and beyond for our family. She is always there with an encouraging word and a prayer. She will go out of her way to check on me when my 17-year-old baby boy travels 500+ miles from home for the first time to make sure my anxiety didn't flare up. She will make you and your sister-in-law your favorite split pea and ham soup when no one else in the family enjoys like we do. She will make it a point to invest her time and love into your child like no other. She supports us in love and prayer. She encourages us and is our biggest supporter. She works hard for what she has and she isn't afraid to share that wealth with her children, their spouses and her grandchildren.
She is everything you could ask for in a mom. I am so blessed to have her in my life and that she lets me call her MOM!”
