I know just how much all your friends mean to you in all their various and unique ways so I wanted to make sure they too had an opportunity to tell you Happy Mother's Day!
I just wanted to tell you how much I am amazed at your courage, your strength & your love as a mother. You define the word 'mother' to me... showing unconditional love, standing up for your child, being a voice for her, going many nights with no sleep, handling situations that I'm not sure I could face myself... you earn the badge "MOTHER" & you should wear it proudly.
I continue to pray for you & lift you up as you continue down the road of motherhood & all the things, good & bad, that are to come...(& I say bad because kids puke... I dont handle puke - haha!)
You will earn a special place in Heaven for the love you have shown your child here on earth. Love you! Hope you feel how special you are on Mother's Day!!!!
Happy Mother's Day, Erica! You are one of the most selfless people I've ever "met". Whatever life throws at you, you handle it with such grace.
I hate the circumstances in how we met, but thank God that we have. You've always been there for me no matter whether it was just for support or answering keto or feeding tube questions. You are always so upbeat and always the peacemaker when a controversial subject comes up or a heated discussion breaks out in one of our groups. :0) I love that about you! You're such a girl with a kind soul. Your love for Joe and Emily just shines right through you!
I don't know what God has in store for your family, but I have a feeling great things are yet to come! I pray you have an awesome Mother's Day and am so proud to call you my friend!
Erica, even though it doesn't work out to see each other very often because of the nature of our lives, it is such a comfort to me to know that you are close by. It is a blessing to watch you live honestly but also with grace. You are a momma who, even in bewildering and sometimes crushing circumstances, is pointing her daughter to Christ through selfless, tireless, God-dependent living. I'm glad to be walking this road with you.
Happy mother's day Erica... You are a fantastic mother and an awesome friend. You always manage to find just the right words and know exactly how to put them together to make people realize how great they really are.
You are a terrific and amazing mother to Emily. Your patience and love for her shine through with every word you write.
Erica, my dear friend... Thank you for for being such a wonderful friend and role model! You are always there to share a smile or a shoulder to lean on. Wishing we could share a hug in person, but for today a ***HUG*** will have to do.
Sending love and hoping for a peaceful happy mother's day! Love, Kim
E-RICE!!!!! I love you more than words could ever explain!! I am so lucky to have you as a sister-in-law. I couldn't ask for a better mom for my niece. I see so much of you every time I'm around Emily and it always brings a smile to my face. We are so blessed to have you in our family. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!
Happy Mothers Day to one of the strongest most amazing mothers I know!!! You have been there for my family, even from halfway across the country!! I am blessed to be able to know you and your absolutely beautiful family, and feel honored to call you my friend! It truly means the world to me. And if you are this good of a friend, Joe is blessed to have you as a wife, and Emily couldn't have chosen a more perfect mother!!! God has a beautiful future planned for your family. You guys certainly deserve every bit of it too! <3
I hope you have an absolutely amazing and love filled Mother's Day!
My Dearest Erica, I wish you the most wonderful Mother's Day because you are the epitome of what every mother should aspire to be. Emily and Joe are so incredibly blessed to have you giving them every ounce of love and joy that you have, and that's through your smile alone. Everything beyond your smile is a gift. A gift the Lord gave you before you even became a mother. So to see you be a wife and mother makes Him dance above and shower your family with grace and love. Happy Mother's Day to you, sweetie. Love, Sasha
Happy Mothers Day Erica! Emily is so blessed to have you as her mommy! Even through all of the ups and downs you two have shared you stay strong for her, speak up for her and calm her when no one else can. I am so proud to have you for a friend and even if I haven't been able to give you a "real" hug I've given you so many "virtual" ones I've lost count!! I pray that all of your wishes and dreams come true and that you have a very special Mothers Day! Love and Hugs, Kathy <3
Erica, I feel so blessed to have you as a sister-in-law, and even more blessed that we have become closer over the last couple of years! I know I can come to you with anything, and I hope you feel the same.
I admire and look up to you in so many ways. You are an amazing mom to Emily and a fantastic wife to Joe. They are so blessed to have you.
Through all of your trials I know you put your trust in Heavenly Father, and though there may be times that you don't understand and feel hurt by what is going on you keep the faith and push on.
His light shines through you, more than you know, and that is one of the best things about you.
I hope on Mother's Day that you can feel Christ's love more than ever before. That you will feel His arms around you and know that he is there to comfort and help you in all that you do.
Thank you so much for being who you are. I love you!
Erica, you DEFINE the word Mother! When I was young, I always looked up to you. I wanted to be "cool" like you. I thought that was so important. And now that I'm grown, I look up to you for so many other reasons. If I could even be HALF the mother you are one day, I will be grateful :) I rarely see Mothers as loving and devoted as you. You are also a dedicated believer, a wonderful wife to Joe, and a special friend to me. These are the most important things:) Thank you for being an amazing example for me to look up to. Emily is truly BLESSED to have YOU for her Mommy! Have a wonderful Mother's Day! I can't think of anyone more deserving. Love, Chasity
Erica, you are an amazing Mom with an amazing inner strength. You are doing amazing with everything on your plate and I hope that the road begins to smooth out soon. I see the love for Emily and all the fight and determination that you put into everyday and that amazing smile is a great payoff. I hope you have an amazing Mother's Day and that you allow yourself to get a little spoiled at least for a day.
Happy Mothers day Erica! Our group is so blessed to have you in our lives. You bring strength to all of us (myself in so many ways that words can not describe). Thank you for all you do for me and the rest of us - Have an Amazing day! Kati
Happy Mother's Day Erica! I am beyond thankful to be connected to you, Emily and Joe. You are an inspiration. Even though we have never met in person, your words and personality are a beautiful reflection of your love for Jesus and the love that He has for us. Love, Nicky
I wasn't able to get on a computer yesterday but you mean the world to me and are such an amazing mom, friend, wife, woman!!! ♥ hope you have a wonderful day! Ps. What a sweet hubster! You did good Joe!!
Lord knows this road is not an easy one, but I can tell you it's been made easier by having wonderful, inspirational, kind, supportive friends and SUPER moms like you by my side. You kindness and compassion radiates even thru the computer screen, as you always have a positive word for everyone and your support is endless. I've been so blessed in my life to have you as a friend. You are a pillar of strength and your family is so lucky to have you, as is your IS family.
Happy Mother's Day to one of the greatest mom's and people I "know". I appreicate so much having you in my life. Your fight and love for your family is inspiring.
