Happy Mother's Day

My Mom is a snowbird so she won't be back to Toronto in time for Mother's Day this year. I used to think the farther I lived away from her, the more I loved her. But that's no longer true. Though I am not a mother yet, as I grow older, I appreciate her more.

In the picture: Mom in early 1980s. 

Mom has been my single biggest fan and supporter, and she always has my back and makes sure I know it. She believes in me no matter what I do; she trusts my decisions and supports me in whatever way she can. She has such a big heart and strongly believes that everybody deserves a second chance. She is loyal, independent, and puts needs of others above herself. Growing up, I always wish I could become as good of a person as she is. She is the woman of style and substance that I aspire to be.

So on this Mother's Day, I will be fondly thinking of her.

Wish you all a Happy Mother's Day!
