I was just encouraged to make a post by Patty on my mother.  I’ve become more and more appreciative of my Mom because she has always been super supportive.  Also, she was always one to encourage, not list all of the reasons why I couldn’t or shouldn’t do things.  That isn’t to say that she didn’t know or have preferences for what I would do.  She just trusted me.  I hope that I can be that kind of parent for my sons.  Thanks Mom!
