In the editing process of Jackie and Chad's wedding,

As my grandmother lays in a hospital bed in Ohio struggling to eat, struggling with the pain, struggling with remembering who people are around her, all while being poked and prodded, as the doctors struggle to figure out what is making her so sick, I have had a hard time keeping my mind on work.
Flashbacks of times my grandma helped me with projects, fed me cereal at 10pm (because she ALWAYS thought I was hungry) and countless trips she took from an hour away to see me dance, twirl, cheer, sing, and play flute in the band flood my mind.
She taught my mom to sew and then my mom taught me.
She forever will hate herself in pictures, and yet is one of the most BEAUTIFUL women I know (inside and out).
She is a woman of faith and very rarely misses mass.
She molded my mom into who she is and because of that, my mom molded me...
My grandma, an amazing mom, taught my mom to be an amazing mom.
And I work every day to be the kind of loving (yet stern) mom to my kids that they are!
Moms...

We would not be who we are today without them...

There were SO many moments from Jackie and Chad's wedding that made me smile, but this one was hands down my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! . . . .
The unconditional love and support of a mother...
Nothing more needs to be said...
