Overdue Props

I feel somewhat remiss in that I have mentioned my Dad several times on my blog, but that I have never given my Mom the gratitude to which she is so very rightfully entitled.

Throughout my life, my Mom has always been there for me. When I was in my formative years, and even during college, my Mom and I would sit and talk for hours. I would not be where I am today without all of her advice, guidance, and life lessons. Becoming a productive and responsible adult is not an easy process, and it was one that I often struggled with as I imagine that many people do. I think that I finally "got it" when I started really listening to my Mom and Dad and heeding the majority of their advice. I started to realize that WOW they really do know what they're talking about! They are both wonderful parents and terrific people that have lived their lives the right way. Taking their advice to heart made things immeasurably easier and led me to where I am today.

Well, I feel better now that I've given my Mom her due. Her love and support were critical in shaping the person that I became as an adult. I can't imagine where I would be if it weren't for her.
