My mom, my friend

Today is my mom's birthday and, every year, I feel like I just can't do enough to show her how much I appreciate her and the relationship we have. Even 2100 miles away, we still have the kind of relationship I know any girl would love to have with their mom. I love our marathon phone calls and the time that we do get to spend together (lots of times in a movie theatre somewhere). Some day, I'll take her to lunch or to the show on her birthday. For now, though, I guess flowers will have to do. I love you Mom! Happy Birthday!
