I love my mom.
She works so hard.
She gives so much -- to her career, to her friends and most especially to her family.
I remember staying up until the wee hours of the morning working on high school project deadlines with her right beside me. She never held my hand or looked over my shoulder but was my support, my rock. Without being controlling, she let me know that she was there if needed.
A teacher by nature, she teaches in every aspect of her life. Leading by example. Guiding those around her with her enthusiasm and verve for life. I love my mom.
Sometimes lacking in the communication department, I don't fault her... merely think it's all those years talking to her 4th graders! Nonetheless, she is genuine in her gusto, her concern, her empathy and her love.
Happy birthday mom. I love you.
