Happy Mother's Day!

I am very grateful to be at a point in my life where my mom and I are getting closer.  Growing up, I certainly gave her a long list of problems - it's only been recently that I've started looking back and going "Oh wow, I was a real pain!"  More than ever, I am beginning to appreciate how much my mom has done for me over the years.

The other day I was at my parent's house and I looked over at this bookshelf in the living room where my mom and dad have started putting pictures of our family.  I realized more than half the photos were taken by me, all at different stages in my 'photographic career'.  There's one I remember taking in my old room on Ditman Street - over five years ago.

My mom has been the biggest supporter of my creative endeavors, period.  We haven't always agreed on my 'artistic interpretations' but I have always been able to count on her to give me her honest, thoughtful opinion.

I thank God that He has given me the mom that I have.  I love her so much and I am thankful for her presence in my life.

Thank you, Mumsy.
