In honor of Mother's Day...

four things that make you think of your mom...
1. the smell of Vaseline Intensive Care lotion...she always has lotion on her hands and in her purse
2. Elvis Presley
3. scented candles...when she cooks, she always has a candle burning to mask the smell, although I think her cooking smells better than any candle!
4. hair dye...she has an endless supply of it in the basement!

four things you like doing with your mom...
1. going shopping
2. eating out for lunch on the weekends that she's not working
3. eating her cooking
4. being a sounding board for her when she needs to vent

four things you love/admire about our mom...
1. She is the hardest worker I know.
2. When she came to the U.S. from the P.I.'s, they wouldn't allow her to practice dentistry, so she took an office job. After a few years, she realized she was not satisfied with that, and decided to get a Bachelor's degree in Nursing. It took a long time and a lot of sacrifice, and passing the boards was a difficult task, but she did it!
3. The way she takes care of me, Reg, and Anthony.
4. Our relationship. I treasure it.
