my mom

...is an amazing person. I won't go into all the details. Just trust me. She is amazing.

We can talk on the phone for hours, not just when we live a country apart, but 15 minutes apart. We can cover topics that you wouldn't believe. We can laugh. We can analyze. We can commiserate. We can celebrate. We can hear the same story on NPR and discuss it intently in relation to the morning's scripture study. She is the only person I can call up for a normal conversation one moment, and the next, find myself bawling my eyes out without reservation because I needed a release and just didn't know it.

Thanks, mom. I love you. Happy Mother's Day.
