What shows
how little
we know?
What can be is
oft far less than
what we expect.
What is now
has never been
what it was.

My first teacher, my mother set an example to me of how to be a human being.
My whole life, I have strived (at times struggled) to come somewhere close to the bar she set.
I have failed. I have failed others, and myself, so many times along this journey. In that I find the most important lesson my mother ever taught me: forgiveness.
To forgive is to let things go, realize your mistakes and continue trying not to forget the lessons learned.
Love is a lesson.
Happy Mother’s Day.
