"Life doesn't come with a manual - it comes with a Mother."

Mother and son from the bilingual school.

Birthday and Mother's Day celebrations are just around the corner for my mom, but those are only a couple of reasons she's in my thoughts lately. She's the best mom in the world!

I think about her often and smile at the past or dream about the future.

Nothing could change the pivotal, towering figure she has been in my life, and it's amazing to imagine she'll have the chance to impact the members of the family I will start someday.
