My Dearest Mother

Over the years, I and my siblings have learned many lessons from our mother. She taught us to cook, clean, write, read (some of us more than others), work hard. The usual things that a mother teaches to her children. Then there are other, more unique things she has taught us.

Like the value of sleep. Older sister learned this lesson many times.

She taught me that it is important to take care of one's health.

(I always ask exactly what medicine she is giving me after this experience)

 She never missed a chance to teach us the proper way to punish naughty children. Older Brother, and Oldest Sister often provided the perfect opportunities for such lessons.

She set the example of valuing tasty treats.

And especially to never waste tasty treats. EVER.

She wasn't afraid to slam on the breaks of life (and her Subaru Forester) for a chance to enjoy nature.

She has always been there for us.

At night, to wipe away the tears from a bad dream...

...And during the day to provide plenty of entertainment.

Here's to you Mom!

Happy Mother's Day
