Happy Mother's Day!

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart.

~ Helen Keller

I think there’s a very good reason why I never had kids. Remember while growing up how your mother used to warn, “Just wait until you have children of your own!” I can’t imagine trying to raise the likes of me at all. I was quite a hellion, to put it mildly, and am sure I tried my Mom’s patience on more than one occasion. I’m not sure why she didn’t just throw her hands up in defeat, but she has always been there for me. Though I still can be quite trying at times, my Mom has stood by me through accomplishments, disappointments, cherished moments and family losses with unconditional love.

Mom, I hope you know how much I appreciate everything you have done for me and continue to do. I love you!

And, despite aforementioned childish behavior, I know I’m your favorite!
