"A mother is the truest friend we have,
when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us
when adversity takes the place of prosperity
when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine,
desert us when troubles thicken around us,
still will she cling to us,
and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels
to dissipate the clouds of darkness,
and cause peace to return to our hearts."
--Washington Irving
I couldn't ask for a better friend, a funnier cohort, a more loving mother or a kinder spirit than I have in my mom. She's more precious to me, and has impacted my life in infinite ways, than she'll ever realize.
Love you right up to the moon and back.
