Mother's Day

My Mom and I, on a day trip to Paris in October 2010.
This was one of the most fun days I've had in recenet memory.
We took the Eurostar from London, to Paris for the day, for a
whirlwind tour of the city, doing the Seine cruise, the Eiffel Tower
with a champagne lunch and running through the Louvre to
see the Mona Lisa. It was fun at its best.
If only I could carbon copy that day.

What do you say to the person who gave birth to you? The one who raised you, and instilled good self esteem in you. I come from a long line of strong women . My Babcia (grandmother), my Mom and my Aunt Helen are all ladies with a strong personality, who do not shy away from life and embrace as much as they are allowed to. I am happy to have come from such a gene pool. On this Mother's Day, I thank my Mom, for becoming a stronger influence on me as the years go on. Perhaps it is knowing that our days will be shorter ahead, rather than longer? Whatever the reason, I am thankful for having my Mom around - to skype with, to laugh with, to moan to, to question with, to pudder with, to travel with and to just be with. Happy Mother's Day Mom! I love you.
