Mother’s Day has just passed, and while the cards and flowers were nice, they are not enough to express how grateful I am to have such an inspirational Mom. That’s why I’m writing this to you – to let the world know how proud I am to be your daughter. I am going to do my best to describe all the things that make you so wonderful, but... “To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power. Or the climbing, falling colors of a rainbow.” - Maya Angelou
