My Mother & Hero

On this Mother's Day as we celebrate the wonderful Mom's in all of our lives, I feel truly blessed to have such a wonderful and amazing Mother who has given everything for her children. For this I am eternally grateful for everything that she has sacrificed and given up for my brother and I. Growing up she was at every softball game, every dance recitcal, drove me to every piano lesson, picked me up from all my activities, and was always there with a smile on her face, doing everything in her power to make sure her kids had everything they needed!

She is more than a mother she is also my best friend and the person I can can count on for anything and everything. For this and so many more reasons it was so important to me to recognize her on the most important day of my life. Most little girls dream about dancing with their Father on their wedding day, for me it is my Mother, the one that has been there for me for everything. I found the perfect song to recognize my mother. On my wedding day I will dance to "Somebody's Hero" by Jamie O'Neal with my Mother, because she is MY hero. I love you Mom - Thank you for being MY hero!!!

She's never pulled anyone from a burning building
She's never rocked Central Park to a half a million fans, screaming out her name

She's never hit a shot to win the game

She's never left her footprints on the moon

She's never made a solo hot air balloon ride, around the world,

No, she's just your everyday average girl (but)

She's somebody's hero

A hero to her baby with a skinned up knee

A little kiss is all she needs

The keeper of the cheerios

The voice that brings Snow White to life

Bedtime stories every night

And that smile lets her know

She's somebody's hero

She didn't get a check every week like a nine-to fiver

But she's been a waiter, and a cook and a taxi driver

For twenty years, there at home, until the day her girl was grown

Giving all her love to her was her life's ambition

But now her baby's movin' on, and she'll soon be missin' her

But not today, those are tears of joy runnin' down her face

She's somebody's hero

A hero to her daughter in her wedding dress

She gave her wings to leave the nest

It hurts to let her baby go down the aisle she walks right by

Looks back into her mother's eyes

And that smile lets her know oh oh oh

She's somebody's hero

Thirty years have flown right past

Her daughters' starin' at all the photographs

Of her mother, and she wishes she could be like that

Oh, but she already is

She's somebody's hero

A hero to her mother in a rockin' chair

She runs a brush through her silver hair

The envy of the nursing home

She drops by every afternoon

Feeds her mother with a spoon

And that smile lets her know oh oh

Her mother's smile lets her know oh oh

She's somebody's hero
