Flowers

Gasp. It's been far too long since I have written anything. I should probably try harder to keep in the habit of writing regularly.

The first thing I will do is a reflection. Today is Mother's day, and I have a truly amazing Mom. I have recently been watching the TV show Parenthood, and it has made me realize that my mom is a pretty great mom. Mom, Sorry to compare you to a bunch of fictional weirdo's. But pretty much every episode, when one of the character's screws up, I think, "thank gawd my mom isn't that silly" or "I hope I'm never like that". My mother is probably the most supportive person I know, and she is always grounded and down to earth about everything. Moving to Europe has been super hard, and she was always there to help  me, (and always there to call when I was in the registrars office at school, and I needed my Highschool permanent code or some other number that I didn't have (but a mom does). And, knowing me, it was probably 4:15 on the Friday before the deadline)

She is also the type of mom to pick you up at a bus station at like 4:30 am, and one that you can call when you took the wrong bus and don't know how to get home, and you need her to "google maps" it for you. She will also tolerate me when I call her just to pronounce a dutch word or vowel sound for me. She is pretty great. I know that now that I am an ocean away I can't experience some of these amazing things my mom does. But, also thanks to her, I am a strong independent person that doesn't shutter at the idea of being alone on a different continent. My favourite thing right now, is that she is always up before anyone else in Canada, so if I have a really exciting day, she is always the first to know :P.

So, this is my post for my mother, on Mother's day. And I am really sad that I can't be there to spoil you for a day and bring you breakfast in bed.

Today I am going to do a very Mother's day like thing and going to look at flowers. So there will be some mother's day themed pictures in my next post :P.
