Shirley
So the challenge going around is to describe our mothers in one word. Let me think...She's a "daughter" and "sister"...the youngest of five.
She was a cheerleader...so she's "exuberant" and "encouraging." (And when she discovers that I've posted this picture, we might have to use "exasperated" or "wooden spoon wielder.")
She's my father's one and only. That brings up adjectives like "patient," "calming," and "gracious."
She's been known to be a "character."
She's a "Wolfpack fan" (which is synonymous with "fun")
She looks good in black, so I could say "classy"...but she also bought my lunch that day...so I could say "generous."
She loves Jesus. That makes me think of "faithful," or "devoted," or "obedient." (It also makes me "blessed.")
She puts up with me and goes right on loving me anyway, so I could use "wonderful," "loving," or "awesome" (also see any words tied to being married to my father and insert them here).
So can I describe her in one word? Sure. Let's just use "Mine."
