Thanks Mom, for everything.  You may not be an imposing figure walking down the street, but you’re far tougher than the average tiger.  No matter how much life surprises you and tosses you things you weren’t planning on, you find a way to pull it all together and make it all right.  And it’s important you realize your contributions and sacrifices do not go unnoticed or unappreciated.  Your strength is inspiration to us all.  I’m proud of you, and I hope you have a wonderful day.
