Welp Mom, I don’t need one day to express how much I love you , care for you, and appreciate all that you’ve done for me. I’m even more grateful that you understood how exhausted I was from traveling with my job this past week, and allowing me to stay in Jacksonville this weekend instead of coming home. As phenomenal as you are, I just felt like materialistic things wouldn’t do the trick this year. This is our first Mother’s Day apart, but I’ll see you soon.

If I ever forgot to say Thank You for the following, Thank You for…

1. Pushing me out on the 7th of June instead of the 10th because 2 Divas could not share the same birthday. God knew exactly what he was doing and I guess you did too. LOL 🙅🏾☺️😂
2. Never have you ever passed off your responsibilities to someone else because from day one: Your girls have been your top priority. 
3. Allowing everyone to call you Mrs. Jordan, your facial expression cracks me up every time that it happens. 😖😂
4. Your attempt to try to allow us to have a relationship with our dad, even though you knew there might be times he wouldn’t hold up his end of the bargain. 😒
5. Marrying Mr. Anthony who helped us complete more school projects because you and I both know that’s just not your area of expertise. 😟
6. In elementary school, you always stressed the importance of only signing up for punch or chip & dip. Now as an adult, I still do the same to save money.😊😂
7. Never allowing me to feel like I was at a disadvantage because I was being raised in a single-parent household. I’m stronger because of it now. 💁🏾
8. Keeping me involved at a young age with  extracurricular activities. Kept me out of trouble for the most part, which kept me from getting whippings. 😌
9. Stressing that you do not mind whooping my behind as a kid. I still have nightmares about this one LOL. 😩😩
10. Reminding me that a title doesn’t make you important. Remember when I was so distraught about not making senior homecoming court in HS or class president. You love to bring up old news.😂😂😂
11. Giving me $5-$10 for every organization that I wanted to join in HS, because of your weekly donation I landed a Leadership scholarship to college. 👏🏾👏🏾
12. Telling me in advance that it wasn’t going to work with any of my exes. Your curse is working, I’m still single. 😕
13. Being a helping hand when I was having seizures and reporting each one to the doctor, even though it hindered me from getting my driver’s permit and license on time. 🚫
14. Making me feel as if though my high school graduation wasn’t a BIG deal, but you made my college graduation a HUGE deal. The tribute to pa-pa meant so much to me. ❤️
15. Supporting my efforts to be a majorette in college and motivating me to be healthy so that I could sustain my weight goal throughout the season. 👍🏾
16. Not being too mad at me when you found out I wasn’t going to Alabama State… After I had already applied, accepted scholarships, and begged you to go to family day. You began to love UNA more than I did, and that says a lot. 💛💜💜💛💜💜💛💜💜💛💜💜💛
17. Assisting me (FINANCIALLY) to become a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Sorry you had to do this twice, Thanks “Double Take”💚💕💚
18. Not asking to see my grades in college like you did in high school, I couldn’t have handled the extra stress. You demanded I graduate in 4 years, I delivered. 🎓👍🏾
19. Supporting me through every pageant adventure, even though they’re really not your thing. You should just pray that I don’t have any girls 😂👑🎀
20. Being willing to bail me out of jail when the judge was leaning towards giving me 90 days in jail for reckless driving (Speeding) I cried my eyes out that day, but you find it so funny that you bring it up every Christmas. 😞😥
21. Giving your opinion on every aspect of my life whether I asked for it or not. Your favorite saying is I TOLD YOU SO. 😜
22. Not getting too jealous when I come home and spend the weekend with my granny. 😁
23. Granting me the opportunity to witness this: Heather Lindsey said it best “The most powerful gift a woman could pass down to her children is her example of faith & living for Jesus in the midst of hard times. 😘😘😘

You’ve had to tolerate my know it all self for 23 years now and with the help of the Lord (and don’t forget about granny & my late pa-pa) I would say you’ve done an outstanding  job. May God continue to bless you with patience and understanding in the future. 

Happy Mother’s Day Michelle Nixon ❤️
