Today's post is obviously dedicated to my mom. She's actually working a 12 hour day today so we don't get to "celebrate" with the traditional Mother's day brunch (though we did make dinner for her on Friday night). I of course have always loved and respected my mom, but as I get older, I've grown to appreciate her and all she did for me growning up.
I can never remember a time when my mom missed a soccer game, swim meet, tennis match or an event that I was cheerleading for. And she worked. And took me to all of these sports' practices. And there were two of us!
Looking back, how is this even possible? Of course my dad helped out, but since her work schedule was a little lighter, the bulk of this responsibility fell upon her shoulders. How did mom find the time, energy or desire to do all of this for us?
To be honest, if I were in her shoes, I may have suggested that I cut back on my extracurricular activities. Of course she never did this and I never heard her complain.
My mom will always be the one to take the overcooked piece of chicken so that the rest of us can have perfectly cooked ones. She will always say "No, I don't want anything for my birthday". She will never be the one to pick the restaurant. These things I can't change, but I do know that I will alway love and appreciate her for the things she has done and will continue to do for me.
Happy Mother's day!
