Ode to Mom

You made my childhood a wonderful place where it was ok for me to be different.

You taught me to share and that selflessness is a strength.




You always have a good time even when confronted with a grumpy teenager.



You rarely complain and always make a bad situation seem not so bad.



You are an amazing Grandma!
Mom, thank you for loving:
an adventurous, creative, strong-willed child
a moody, strange looking, distant teenager
a nervous, needy newlywed
and a overwhelmed, tired, joyful new mom.

You are who I strive to be!
