As I am down to the last few weeks of being pregnant, I can't help think about what I am going to be like as a mother. I have had a lot of practice being a mom to a lot of 5th and 6th graders over the last 7 years - but never my own child. I have had a lot of "Moms" who have always been there for me like a true mother. But my own Mother, Karen Rust, is someone that I only hope to be like.
I can't help but think of the love, time, patience, and care she put into being a mother to my brother and I. She put us first, she always went out of her way to make sure we got the best care, love, education, coaches, and anything else we needed. While at BYU I would call my mom and talk to her each day on the way to class, and then on the way home from class. She would listen to my stories and I would listen to hers. We were always connected and made sure that even though the miles separated us, we were never that far away.
Even now that she is not with me here on earth, I can feel her love all around me.
I hope and pray I can be a mother like her.
I know that she is with my little boy right now taking care of him, loving him, caring for him, and preparing him for his life on earth.
She is already the best Grandma, and will always be the best Mother.
