We spend our whole lives being influenced by our mothers…running to them with our problems, our worries, trying to always make them proud.

My best memory of Mom is the day when I was about 45 years old.

My mom said, “Hey, I just want to tell you how proud I am of the person you have become.

“You are so warm and loving to everyone, so helpful and friendly.

“So non-judgmental and willing to go the extra mile for people you don’t even know…you make me so proud!”

I have to tell you…it meant so much to me.

Miss you and love you, Mom.
