My mom, my sister, and I have always been very close.  She’s supported us (emotionally and financially) through many phases (soccer, tap-ballet-tumble, swimming, gymnastics, cheerleading, girl scouts, singing lessons, theater, cello and violin playing), letting us do what we love even if we weren’t so good at it.  Only a mother could watch me walk around and think I was graceful enough to where a tutu!  She’s been there through the toughest times, and stood beside us when we needed her most.  She’s our biggest fan.  Unconditionally.

Love you, mom!
