For My Mother Mother


To the mother who loves black licorice, sweat pants, and daily mountain bike rides. Thanks for all of the tacos, snuggles, and needed advice you have given me. (Even if I shrugged it off as "silly" and then came crawling back once I realized you were right.) Out of all the things I will miss while I am in Peru, it will hurt the most to be separated from you.

I now embrace the fact that you always sing "Are The Stars Out Tonight" by The Flamingos when you meet one of my friends. I didn't say I understand it, but I embrace it. 
Majestic.
My Mom is the best mountain biker you will ever meet. Luckily she gave birth to a model-child (me).
Brushing her teeth and blocking her ears from my Dad's bark-like sneezes... in the car.  Not an uncommon sight, surprisingly. 
Isn't she the cutest? This was while I was being a paparazzi with the iPad. 
I love my mother mother. There is not a kinder, happier, or more optimistic human on this planet. I am who I am because of her loving influence. And can you imagine if she wasn't in my life? Imagine how terrible I would be!

Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers in the world.

You are included, Mother Earth.
