They say imitation is the highest form of flattery.  If that’s true, then Mom you should be flattered.  I find myself imitating you in so many ways.  Your mothering is reflected in my mothering.  I see you in so many of the choices I make…from singing my babies to sleep to teaching them nursery rhymes; from praying for their souls to feeding their bellies; from comforting them to teaching them to nurturing them.  You’re there in every decision I make. 

Amazing to think that your choices as a mother have had such a ripple effect, isn’t it?

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.  I love you.
