Well today is Mother’s Day and I wanted to reflect on some of the things my Mom did for me in my life that really made a difference.

First:  My Mom was instrumental in me getting interested in technology.  She worked with an early computer company and so we had a desktop computer when I was in 2nd grade.  And when I ultimately crashed that computer a few years later, it was my Mom that let me get back on the new one to learn.  Thanks Mom.

Second: My Mom was always supportive of any initiative I wanted to pursue.  In high school I wanted to do an Inline Marathon as it was a goal to try it out and prove I had the endurance.  Since entering a marathon can be expensive with all of the equipment you need like new wheels, safety gear and the admission, I didn’t have the money to enter.  But my Mom knew it was important to me and so she helped me out with new roller blades and helped with the Entrance fee.  Thanks Mom.

Third: When I lived in South Bend, IN before I was in school, my Mom and I would go to church daily and then we would meet a family friend afterwards to get Ice Cream.  I always looked forward to it.  Especially the waffle cones!  Thanks Mom.

Mom thank you for always supporting me and for all of the memories.  I love you and wish I could be their for Mother’s Day.
