Terri Lynn Shuffield
aka...the best momma in the world
Today is a very special day!!! It is my mothers birthday! February 20, 1956, the Lord brought into this world a little girl that would face many challenges growing up and eventually become the best mother any little girl could ask for.... I love her more than any words can express. She has taught me how to be loving, kind, forgiving, a great mother, a great wife and a great woman! I love her for that. She has been married to the love of her life for a century it seems....maybe not that long but for a long time. She is a seamstress/quilter/knitter/crocheter/lover of coffee/lover of the lights of vegas/lover of her home/lover of WINNIE THE POOH/ lover of pretty flowers/ lover of hot tea/lover of her family/lover of new Cadillac/ lover of her friends/ and most importantly Lover of the Lord....I think I have inherited some of those loves....just maybe....I am going to share several pictures of my mother....some present...some not so present....just a little glimpse into her life....the woman I love more than life itself. These pictures are in no order they are in the order I pull them out of a file:)...
