In Celebration of Moms

Happy Mother's Day...

To Grandma Duggar, Michelle, and Anna and to all our wonderful readers!

Michelle shares how the Duggars celebrate Mother's Day in her latest Parentables post: The children often make homemade cards for each of us, which are my favorite things. I have those treasures in my keepsake box, the special little hand-drawn ones.

She talks about how much of a blessing Grandma Duggar has been in her life. Their first encounter took place before Michelle met Jim Bob, when she was applying for a job at the yogurt shop where Grandma Duggar worked, and the two have been close ever since.

Now that Grandpa Duggar has passed away, she spends a lot of time with the children and they really cherish that time. The kids take turns helping Grandma with her business or just spending time together. At Mother’s Day especially, we try to really recognize Grandma Duggar and thank her for being such a great mom and grandmother.

The mom of 19 also mentions her own mother, who passed away years ago: At Mother’s Day, I also recall memories of my own mother. She was with us for our first baby Joshua, and we have special memories of that time together.
