This is Brooks (8) and Brady Fuller (5) and we want to tell you why we think our mom is the best and why we love her so much. 

We want to give you 3 reasons why we feel the way we do.  First, our mom has sacrificed herself completely for us.  She could be out making lots of money with the college degree she got but she has chosen to be an at home mom and be there for us everyday.  She cooks, cleans our clothes, cleans the house, takes us to our practices and never misses a game.She is our team mom and room mom.  Secondly, our mom is committed to us.  She loves Jesus and she reads the bible to us, prays for us and tells us she loves us all of the time.  She takes great care of our daddy and he really needs her.  He says he would be lost without her.

Finally, our mom is a servant to lots of people.  She was recently the leader of a group of moms that raised over $40,000 for two kids in our school who have bad cancer.  Their families needed money and mom helped give them over $20,000 each.  She started a rubber bracelet campaign for Carly and Bennie and spent lots and lots of hours at night working hard on it. 

She also has a friend in Auburn who son was born with a hole in his heart.  Her friend and her family had to go to Boston for William to have a heart surgery.  Our mom put together a fund raiser for their family and raised over $4,400 for them. Not many people know she does this kind of stuff.  She has done a lot for other people and we just wanted to tell you about her. We think it is why she is the most special mom in the whole world.
