There are few things in life as comforting as the unwaivering love of my mother. My Mom has been my greatest champion, always supportive and understanding. There is almost nothing that I can do which she cannot find some element of success, cause for celebration, or foundation for progress. I try to say thanks and tell her that I love her every chance I get. Sometimes it does not seem often enough. As she once told a neighbor during my more rebellious teenage years, "I don't always like him, but I love him." Thanks Mom, for always being there for me.
