Happy Mother's Day! :)

There is no one moment that makes a mom a great mom, and no one memory that sticks out from the rest as the one that defines mother-daughter relationship.  Rather it's the little moments along the way that make you grin ear to ear, chuckle, down-right laugh, or cry.  You spend your life from birth with your mom who loves you so unconditionally that you don't even realize the magnitude of the sacrifice and the love until you have grown and left.  And then you are grounded and realize that you still don't.  And probably never will until you become one.
