Arianna was just 2 days old in this picture. I still remember how overjoyed I felt with love for the gift of my precious little girl. It's hard to believe that it's been 6 years now that I've been blessed to be a mom. Is it an easy job? I can say that the ONLY thing 'easy' about being a mother is the LOVE you have for your child and the fact that if you had to choose between yourself or your child...the easy choice is always for your child first.

I know that MY mother is not only wonderful in so many ways, she is also my best friend. She worked very hard to provide all that myself and my brothers needed growing up and she STILL DOES to this very day. My mom is the only person whom has been there for me in the good times and in the bad. She may not have always approved of every single thing I've done in my years but never did she disown me, make me feel less of a person nor stop loving me. For her, my mother, I owe her all that I have become today....a strong, independent, dedicated, fighting, protecting, caring, sharing and loving woman and mother. To you mom, I say Thank you and I love you with all my heart!

Happy Mother's Day
