This is my mom and me. (I'm the one in white...) It seems appropriate to write a little something about my mom today. According to my memory, I never went through a typical teenage stage of disliking or not appreciating my mom. We have always been friends. I count her as one of my closest friends. She has always listened to me and treats me as if what I have to contribute is worthwhile. I appreciate her advice and recognize her wisdom. Her wisdom isn't the sort that comes with age--it's the sort that comes with study and learning. She has spent her life learning new things and she loves to share what she knows. I think that is among the things I admire most about her--her love of education. I am grateful she encouraged us to pursue our education. And I'm grateful she is a teacher--someone who always shares what she learns. Mom is optimistic and positive about people and about life. I love my mom and could go on and on, but I am really trying to shorten my blentries so they are more readable. Happy Mother's Day, Mom!Saturday, May 9, 2009

I have never found your posts un-readable. Keep writing.
And I agree with everything you said about Mom. We are really blessed, aren't we?
PS I'm glad you identified yourself as the one in white. I was confused.
Great post, Megan. Happy Mother's Day to Mom, and all the rest of you who have, arguably, the most difficult and important job in the world!
Megan, What a wonderful post. You are blessed to have such a wonderful woman as your mother! From another point of view she is also a wonderful friend. So, all in all she is just great.
By the way I love all your blog entries. I wish there were more.
Oh Megan, if you're posts are unreadable, mine must be absolutely unbearable! Keep writing!!
This is a very nice tribute to a truly remarkable woman. And it says a lot about the person who wrote it, too.
