This is my mom. She's amazing. She has a thirst for life that is beyond admirable and inspirational. She knows how to live in the moment, savor life's little details, and make the most out of everything that comes her way (good or bad). She's truly a great role model.

She's also really funny and witty which made for several giggle-fests that I'll never forget! I'm so happy that she got to see parts of the world she had always dreamed of and that I got to share a part of this chapter of life with her.

So this weekend, let the ones you love know how much you appreciate them, spend some quality time together or email/skype if you're not near by. There's nothing like family.

Have a good one everybody!
