Mama Love

Who is Mama Love, you ask? She's awesome, simply put. But that doesn't answer the question, so I'll provide a little bit of background.

Mama Love, or Mrs. Love as I grew up knowing her as, was my elementary school librarian once upon a time. She has spent countless hours influencing countless children in her amazing way. The selflessness and patience her job required was far exceeded by Mama Love.

I must have at one point read at least half of the total literature in the school library as it was at the time, and Mama Love was one of the few staff who never said very much about it. My nose was always in a book back in those young days of mine, and as difficult as it may be for people to understand I was always in trouble for reading. I would read at lunch breaks, before school, at home after school, in class... my reading was a problem I guess. It was all I ever wanted to do!

These days I will still spend far too much of my life reading if somebody hands me a decent book. The reality of life has lessened the intensity of my reading quite a bit, but I still enjoy it just as much ad I did as a young kid.

Today I have a whole lot more than the wonderful job Mama Love filled as a teacher and librarian to thank her for, I owe her my thanks for her generosity as well. When she found out I was having a baby, she went and found special fabric (with tow trucks on it!) and made an amazing baby blanket for him. She also sent along a handmade paw print receiving blanket and some toys, all natural wipes, and.....BOOKS!!

Thank you Mama Love, from the bottom of our hearts! I wanted to let the world know that I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and I appreciate the lasting positive influence you have had on my life. It's such a beautiful thing that you extend your love to our next generation and I think that everyone should know just how wonderful you are!

Thank you for all of your love, Mama Love!
