Mrs. Iris Tarnowski is the mother of my closest friend on the face of the earth after my mom, a man who's a brother to me, she's also the woman who accepted me and treated me as if she'd given birth to me from the first moment we met. I call her mom, not as a replacement for my own because there isn't, never could be, nor will there ever be a replacement for my mom. I do it because anything else would be too formal for the relationship Mami Iris and I have. I called her the other day to check on her and make sure she was all right and but what ended up happening was we spent the entire time with her making sure I was all right and inquiring whether there was anything she could do for me. It was a conversation like I'd have with my mom, one filled with love, and more care and concern for me than for herself. It was the kind of conversation I've grown accustomed to and expect from her. She's always there for me, and always ready and willing to act on my behalf if need be. I appreciate her and love her dearly and wouldn't trade the relationship I have with her for anything. Today I celebrate and wish a Happy Mothers Day to Mrs. Iris "Mami Iris" Tarnowski. I love you Mami.
Oh, and I would be able to comment as me, Pr. Kathy, rather than as Chris!
Lena, it's nice to meet Matt's mom... on Mother's Day, no less. God has led me to this ministry at Albion. I wish I were more of a techie; if I were, maybe I could figure out how give full credit to bloggers other than Chris.
I have been enjoying the posts that i’ve been receiving from your ministry. I am the mom of Matt Byars, so i realize the wonderful opportunity you are giving these gentlemen that would otherwise not have an outlet ! Thank you for your dedication to these men !
