I am having a really hard time coming up with a memory. I have lots of them but there is a theme with all of them and that is Aunt Carrie as my biggest cheerleader. All of my memories with Aunt Carrie involve her being the kind of mom my mom couldn't be. Her trying to make my life better and love me like Heavenly Father loves me. There isn't on memory that stands out as individual from the rest but instead all the memories combined make up my schema for Aunt Carrie and thus the way I deserve to be treated. She has had the hardest job of all in my life. I look to her for strength, guidance, support, love....etc....when others did not believe in my worth she stood up and defended me. When I was lost she got out her flashlight and provided the light for me to find my way. To me Carrie is an example of the Saviors love for me. She is SUPPER WOMEN! The theme in all my memories of her are centered in her devotion to making life better and of being true to herself. When I celebrate an accomplishment in my own life I do with the knowledge that it is because of the kind persistence and gentle reinforcement that Aunt Carrie provided me with that I am where I am today. So it is with the deepest love that I acknowledge the magnificent person Carrie is.

Even though it was hard at times to share her with me I thank each and everyone of you, Joseph and ME in particular, for allowing your mom to be the Mom my mom wasn't. She has made an immeasurable difference in my life.
