i happen to know a wonderful lady...

mom and her four girls in branson, mo this fall

i have never been very sentimental on mother's day. sure, i picked up a card and a gift and gave my mom a quick hug - but to me it always seemed like one of those canned holidays orchestrated in a workshop somewhere to make someone rich. card companies. flower companies. whoever. someone was making a whole mess-o-cash just reminding us to do what we should do every day - tell our mothers how much they mean to us. how much they shape us.

this year was different.

this mother's day, my mom has cancer. i don't know how many more days i'll get to honor my mother.

today i made a special brunch and hugged the woman that has been my everything for the past 25 years. today i truly celebrated mother's day for the first time.

thank you mom, for teaching me how to be me. i love you.
