Everyday is for mothers.

Im an 21 hour plane flight and a 2 hour car ride from being able to see my mother (give or take variables like layovers and security checks). The last time i saw my mum (mom) was exactly 1 year ago when she made the journey to Vancouver from Australia. I was thinking about her this morning (especially because it is mothers day) and what we did together when she was visiting a year ago. It is not very hard to see how this woman is so easy going and so generous to others.
The day she flew into Vancouver from Australia, we had the day already planned before we knew she was even comming to visit that we were going to move into our new apartment and out of the old one on the same day. So Andrea and I picked her up from the airport and drove to our old apartment to start moving stuff we had already packed in preperation. Well without questions or gesturing (not to my memory anyway) she rolled up her sleeves and started scrubbing clean our old apartment while Andrea and my friend Brian and I trucked everything back and forth. She was a trooper that day and Im sure after helping us unpack she didnt get to bed until around 10pm that night.
So last year i remember we went to Grouse mountain on the north
shore of Vancouver and via a cable car it over looks the entire city, out to sea and the mountains of Washington.

There was still snow in areas but it was a perfect sunny spring day and Im sure she enjoyed it. I could write for an hour here about what we did for the time she was here but it will probably only bore those who couldnt experience it with us.
