Feliz dia das Mães


Happy mothers day! This blog is for one of the most wonderful and amazing people in my life, mom. I have constantly learned how lucky I am to have you, and Brazil has opened my eyes even more to that fact. I love you and all of your crazy perks, and anyone reading this knows exactly what I am talking about.

  • Your love of coffee – any conversation I have about it all I can think of is you
  • Your wonderful driving skills – that I have luckily inherited
  • Your protective nature – (it means a lot even if it is a little over the top)
  • How much Verizon Wireless loves you because of your thoughtful 10 min. messages
  • Your rule follower attitude – I def. inherited this one…
  • No matter how early you set your clocks your still five minutes late
  • How you call me at home to tell me what you doing when you get home, in 2 min.

But one thing that I love the most, although sometimes I deny it, is when people tell me I am so much like you. It really is the best compliment I have been given. You are such a joyous person and so full of love and kindness and everyone always sees you happy and full of life and I am so blessed to have you as my mother. Granted I know we have our differences, like you being a worry wart and me well… the cause of your worry. But I just want you to know today that you are the best mother and I can think of nothing better than being your daughter. All I can say is thank you, and I love you. Happy mothers day mom!

Your favorite (single) daughter, AA










And this wouldn’t be a complete mother’s day blog without talking about my lovely sister in law, Erin. I want to wish you a Happy Mothers day as well. I have felt very blessed in the past year being able to see Erin and Cody with Sean. I have felt so honored to be a part of their lives and see the excitement, love, and joy they had throughout their pregnancy and the past 10 months. It has opened my eyes to how loved I am and the special bond between children and their parents. So thank you Erin for helping me realize the love my mother has for me in the love you have for Sean. You are a beautiful mother and I can not wait to see you in all your glory with your 9 kids! (My bet is at 9) I love you and hope you have a wonderful mother’s day!

Bejios, AAA
