Happy Mother's Day

Today is the day we celebrate everything that is, Mom!  I read once that parents have three stages of parenthood they must go through, being a teacher and disciplinarian, then a coach and finally a consultant.  I feel like my mother has seamlessly transitioned through those roles and continues to be someone I can learn from, aspire to be and call when I need to have a pity party!  To her and all the mom's out there  or not here anymore, I say, Thank you for all that you are and all that you've done.
