Happy Mother's Day, Sr. Camille!
May 9, 2008
With Mother's Day quickly approaching I would love for you - my loyal reader - to give your mom some love. 
Email me a note saying why your mom is/was special. I will post it
HERE -- with a picture of course. Here's my mom. Please meet Sr. Camille - yes, my mom is a nun and she is special because after raising ten children she entered a cloistered monastery to pray for peace in the world. And while I am not able to speak to her often, her spirit is felt. Thanks, mom!

Why is my mom special? She has been teaching in the same school district for over 33 (or so, I lost track) years. She has recently completed her Masters degree. After she broke her back, she defied expectatio
ns by re-learning to walk. These are just a few of the hallmarks of my mom's greatest attribute: pushing for that little bit extra.
Even though she is constantly pushing me to achieve that little bit extra in my own life, she's completely proud and supportive of what I do-- even the crazy, spontaneous, "what's your dream today" stuff.

My mother raised ten children too, Amy--she's 91 now, and still
amazing us all with her good humor and strong spirit.
Here she is walking again, after surgery put her into a wheelchair
for about ten weeks.
Happy Mother's Day!

Amy, Happy Mother's Day...
My mother is special because
She has given me life,
Never abandoned me,
Everyday I wake up, I see one of the most loving and committed women in the world.
I am who I am because she is the best role model.
She stops at nothing to show me her love,
She helped me raise my two beautiful girls (Katyana and Jolai),
Now that she could rest because she does not have to baby sit, she wakes up every morning to drop my
girls off to school,
She brings them their lunch, helps with lunch duty, and picks them up after school,
All these things makes up my loving dedicated mom.
Thank you mom for everything.
My only prayer is that God gives her health and that I can fill her shoes as good as she does.
