My Mom

Here are some things I love about my mom:

When all the other moms were sitting on lawn chairs because they didn't want to be seen in a swim suit, or didn't want to get their hair wet, my mom was in the pool with us kids, having just as much fun as we were.

She introduced me to classical music, and used to help me identify the different instruments in each piece, as well as the composer.

She was my first piano teacher.

You will never hear her say anything negative about another person.

She makes better banana bread, chocolate cake, whole wheat bread, and chocolate chip cookies than your mom.

She used to cut my bangs by sticking masking tape across my forehead so she could cut in a "straight" line:

Happy Mother's Day!
