…is the day my mother was born.* You know how kids always say their mom is the most beautiful mom in the whole world. Well mine is, really. The last time I saw her was Christmas eve. It was the videocam when we skyped. And she was absolutely radiant. It is not easy being so far from family. I’ve been away six months. Nothing I miss more than my mom’s voice and of course her cooking. In fact, I miss us cooking together and our long talks in the kitchen. I just wanted to share today, how much I love my mom. Please keep me and my family, and especially my mom, in your prayers. 

*And a few other very special people. 🙂
