Happy Mother's Day

Where do I begin on this Mother's Day?

During this crazy time for Mom and I...one thing is sure: this experience has brought us even closer than before (and I didn't think that was possible!) How ironic that when I moved in with her in February it was with the intention of helping to take care of HER and now the tables have completely turned. The universe seemed to have a plan for us...and it was that neither of us would be alone as we went through our cancer journeys. 

For that I know we are both so grateful.

Thanks Mom, for getting up and bringing me coffee and juice in bed each morning, for being so patient with Rosie and Leo, for letting us take over so much of your home. For helping me at every turn: both emotionally and physically.

Thanks most of all for modeling such strength and grace during difficult times...and for passing down your pragmatic way of coping when life throws us curve balls...for finding the humor and savoring the little things, for being YOU. I am so, so lucky to have you for a Mom!

My mother's gifts of courage to me were both large and small. 

The latter are woven so subtly into the fabric of my psyche 

that I can hardly distinguish where she stops and I begin.” 

― Maya Angelou

And to Aidan, Isabel, Eli, & Zack, 

know that I believe this with all my heart:

Happy Mother's Day 

to all the beautiful Mothers in my life!
