Olivia, my Mom, and Bennett

When I was a kid, my family would take the 3 hour
drive down to the Lake of the Ozarks every weekend
during the summer. With 4 kids in the back of the
car, you can imagine some of the stuff my Mom and
Dad had to live through! I know many of you can
relate. The only difference was back then they
didn’t have a DVD player to keep us occupied.

Every so often that drive would be extra special.

My dad liked to make good time in the car. But
stopping at Casey’s General Store for candy was a
must have to keep my siblings and I from going
crazy.

To please my Mom, we would stop at Wendy’s for
some ‘coffee’. Now ‘coffee’ isn’t really coffee.
‘Coffee’ was actually a Frosty!

My mom would ask ME to go in with her to get a
‘coffee’ while everyone else stayed in the car.
She’d get me a Junior Frosty and we’d go back to
the car having enjoyed our ‘coffee’. Just me and
Mom. No one else.

I can’t begin to tell you how much my Mom has done
for me in my life. The love, support and care
she’s given me is beyond anything I could describe
to you. I’m very blessed to have a Mom like I do.

And getting ‘coffee’ with my Mom was a special
little time we shared that I’ll never forget.

We help a lot of moms here at Fitness Together
get started and achieve their health and fitness
goals. And the one reason always preventing
them from having started an exercise program
earlier is putting EVERYONE else first. Well,
this weekend, you’re number 1! As a Mom you
deserve it.

I’d like to wish all Moms, especially our FT
Mom’s, a very Happy Mother’s Day. You deserve to
be honored for the love, care, and support you
give to us.

P.S. I’d love to hear your Mom stories. Post a
quick story of why you’re Mom is special.

P.P.S. I love you Mom! And yes, I won’t forget to
call;-)
