oh susan.

Let me tell you about my mother, Susan Marie Tatom.  My mom is the greatest lady I know.  Something I love about her is how selfless she is.  No matter what, she is always putting others before her.  She works like a dog and manages to keep the house sparkling clean all the while looking fabulous! That doesn't happen very often these days! She is seriously hilarious too.  Susan will say the funniest things sometimes and it always makes me wonder where that came from!
She is strong in the gospel and ALWAYS picks the Christ like route.  Whenever someone does something to offend me or hurt my feelings she will come back and say, "Well maybe they were just really having a bad day" or something along those lines.  She always tries to see the good in others no matter the situation. And even though sometimes I just want her to side with me...it's still a great trait to have.
My momma is a crazy good seamstress.  She makes all sorts of things.  She made prom and homecoming dresses for Katy and I, a wedding dress, Gemma's crib bedding, and a ton of other things.  She has so many talents!! She runs like a crazy person and is smoking hot for 50 years old!!
Something I love about my mom is she has become my best friend.  That is one great thing about getting older.  I can't go a day without talking to my mom.  There is always something different to tell her or to talk about. I love that I have such a good relationship with her and am always grateful for the advice she gives. 
My mom is just the best.  She is so loving and so great.  I truly don't know where I would be without her and the example she sets in my life.  I love you momma!!!
