My mom has…

  • skated with the Ice Capades for a newspaper story
  • traveled to Russia, France, Mexico, Japan, England, and more
  • had several concussions as a result of pursuing her hobbies
  • made shoes last longer with cardboard stuffed in the soles as a child
  • carried a knife as protection when rescuing kids from a dangerous situation
  • yelled expletives at a newsroom co-worker during a plane crash crisis
  • randomly broken into a fake foreign language at the airport on several occasions
  • faced a life-threatening illness with dignity, grace, and good humor
  • taught adults to read
  • taken in teenage siblings when she was a young newlywed
  • ridden along with the police
  • never broken a promise to her child

I cannot imagine a better role model or a more loving mother.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom. You’re a fantastic person and I’m so lucky to have you.

    More proof that apples don’t fall far. Your mom rocks, and so do you.
