Mother's Day
On my third full day of my visit to west coast I met a maternal cousin of mine, I had met him once 25 years ago briefly. The main reason we didn't get to meet too often was due to fact mother and siblings spread out due to unpleasant circumstances of their family.
My mother despite her family circumstances didn't allow any of her past to cloud our family, she spent all her energy in developing her children despite hurdles she faced.
Mom, on this day I realize all difficulties you faced and applaud your strength to face them and, thank you for the energy and encouragement you provided us.
