Mama's Day

I love my mom. She is the single most important person in my life. She has shaped the core of who I am, my views on life, on people, on love -- everything. Of course I'm not about to say that I am basically my mother (at least admit it), but I guess I wouldn't mind being her, it would be a great compliment :)

Because I love my mommy so much, I also love Mother's Day. Two days out of the year (including her birthday) that I can celebrate the amazingness that is my mother? Yes please. Bring out the cheesy pink cards, the tacky carnations, and the sappy hand-written poems! Your mamas deserve the love!

In honor of my mother, I shall write a haiku.

Mom, you are my mom.
I am, indeed, your daughter.
Mom, you are my mom.

My siblings and I decided to take mum to the Getty Villa in Malibu for the day and dinner in Santa Monica afterward. Needless to say, she was gleaming from head to toe by the end of the day. Mission accomplished. Killing her softly with our love.
