Happy Mom's Day!

I hope that everyone has taken the time out today to recognize the woman in your life, (biological or otherwise), that is your mother. On this day, I am always reminded of the book "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein. For those who are not familiar with it, it starts with the line, "Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy." The apple tree provides the little boy shade, a place to play, protection, and most importantly, unconditional love. It is a sad book at times, but I look to it as a source of inspiration, reminding me that my own mother has given so much of herself to raise me and to appreciate her everyday. Now, I have also been blessed with a mother-in-law who would sacrifice herself to give me what I want and more importantly, what I need. I hope that I can provide Q with even half of the love that these two gorgeous women have given me.
