- When I was twelve and wanted to visit a friend who lived all the way across the country, she let me get in that plane, all by myself, and spend a week away. Now, as a parent, I have an inkling as to how difficult that was.
- The intricately decorated sugar cookies that show up at every holiday.
- Her sleepy presence almost every time I crept into the house, regardless of how late it was, because she couldn't fall asleep until we were all safe at home.
- Her high expectations.
- Her willingness to baby sit my two energetic children overnight.
- All the Star Wars toys that she did not throw out after they were no longer used.
- All her prayers, silent and spoken, that have surrounded me all my days.
Thank you, mom.
Happy Mother's Day
