I thought it’d be fun to take advantage of the fact that I’m home and sort through some of my mom’s old photographs to compile in a birthday post.

It’s pretty amazing to look back through all my mom’s pictures and choose just a few. She’s lived in more states than anyone else I know, including:

• California
• New Jersey
• Florida
• Maryland
• Delaware
• Ohio
• Pennsylvania
• Kentucky
• Tennessee
• Iowa
• Virginia
• Georgia

She was married in a turban,

has always loved cats,

and is the sweetest most caring person I’ve ever known. I hope that one day I have half the maternal instinct and patience she has.

Thank you for everything you do regardless of the miles between us each day!
