happy mother's day

what would i do without my mom?
there is no one else who would peel countless numbers of fruit for me, leave flowers on my nightstand whenever i visit home, send me packages that arrive on just those days when i need a pick-me-up from home, watch horrible made for tv movies with me from halfway across the country and talk to me during commercial breaks about what has just happened, always laugh as i endlessly tease her, try so hard to cook for me even though she hates to cook, and go with me to CVS and walk up and down every aisle with the little mini shopping cart.
and this isn't even the tip of the iceberg. my mother is an amazing woman. she should be celebrated everyday. here's to you, mommy!!!!!
