Happy Mother's Day!

I would like to take a moment and dedicate a blog post specifically for my Mother. I won’t be able to send her a letter or send her her gift so I just wanted to be able to tell her how much I appreciate her on Mothers day.

 

I found this necklace in a random Tibetan shop in the middle of Beijing. I saw it and couldn’t put it back down. It reminded me of you, I hope that you like it! It is a small token to remind you of how much I love you.

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have you as my Mother. You have done so much for me, and yet you continue to do so much for me. You have always put your children before yourself. That never ceased to amaze me. I remember the many times that you would pick up a shirt in a store, admire it, and then put it back down to buy a pair of pants for one of your children. You were and are a remarkable mother. You always tried your hardest, and you never gave up. I have always looked up to you for an example, even when I was a stubborn teenager. ;)

One of the things I love about you the most is your ability to serve others. You serve with a heart full of charity. You are also very good at making the people around you feel important. You lift others up and you let them know there is hope for a better day. You have a compassionate heart, always reaching out to those in need-no matter their color or background. You have changed my life in so many ways. There were and are many small things that you have done or do that make me want to be a better person. I will always admire you and look to you for counsel. You are so important to me, never forget that. I hope you know how amazing a mother you are. I love you forever and always, my Mother you’ll be. : ) Miss you! Have a happy Mother’s day!
