Mother's Day

For my Mom. I wish you could take a victory lap on this Mothers' Day, for you so deserve such. You have been an inspiration (along with Dad), an outstanding mother to 3 sons, a good wife to a very grateful husband, twice a cancer survivor - so much so that you dedicated many years volunteering to counsel women who'd recently had mastectomies performed.
You (as well as Dad) taught me so much, especially to treat people with respect, and that a person is not what you see, but rather who they truly are when you take the time to learn and know about them.
I could write on for many many paragraphs about the amazing life you have lived, all you have done and all that you have brought to so many lives, but I will instead close by saying thank you for allowing me to call such a special woman my Mom.
I Love You.
==============================================
To all the Moms out there. I wish you a very Happy Mother's Day. From my heart I thank you, and want you to know that parents are THE most vital means to make the world better, for you help erase prejudices, and all the other ignorances that must be eradicated. I know my parents taught me so much, and that one of the most vital lessons was that people are people, and that we aren't different, we are only unique:)
I can't begin to say I know how hard a job being a Mom is, but as you know - it is a labor of love.
My hope for you is simple - may you live a long life, filled with happiness, good health, peace, patience and that may you only shed tears of joy.
A good Mom starts out being a parent, but also ends up being a lifetime friend.
