A Mother's Day Lunch with Mom

Today I met my mom to celebrate Mother's Day a few days early...as you can see, my friend Taite also joined us.  Mom and I don't get to spend a lot of time together where we live so far apart, but for birthdays and Mother's Day I want her to know that she is special to me.  Without her I wouldn't have had the opportunity to experience this earthly adventure.  Thanks Mom for giving me life and for being not only my mom but also my friend.
