A Day for Mothers...

Once a year, a mother gets one day all for her own - Mother's Day.

On this day, we tell our mother what we should be saying all year long...how special she is, how much we love her and how we owe her more than we could ever say.

And somehow...it's enough. She takes that love, and knows that you mean to say it every time you see her.

Its days like today that I take time to reflect on just how important my mother is to me.

When I've disappointed her, the sadness in her eyes are like needles to my skin, but I know no matter what - she'll always love me. And that love can never be tarnished.

"The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness."
- Honore de Balzac

My mother is like a one-woman band, when it comes to being my cheering section, and my stepping stone when I fall. I know that no matter where I am, or how old I get - my mother will always be my number one fan. Sitting at the sideline of my life...cheering me on.

So on this day, I join the rest of the nation in saying:

"Thanks Mom...I love you, Happy Mother's Day!"
