Happy birthday, Mama!

Sunday was my Mama Zeryn’s birthday, and in honor of her, I wanted to post a quick tribute.

This is the first year that I’ve ever been away from my mom on her birthday.  While I did get to have a lovely Skype date with my parents, it’s not quite the same as getting to bake your mama a cake.  Though being far away is difficult, I am lucky enough to have the most supportive, loving, encouraging family in the whole world.  My Mama Zeryn is my role model and my best friend, along with being one of the wisest and most compassionate people that I know.  Her influence and guidance has led me to become the person I am today, and her unconditional love is the purest I have ever seen.

I truly can’t wait until this spring when my mamas come to visit me here in Spain, but until then, this will have to suffice as a public birthday salutation.

can you see the family resemblance?

I love you with all my heart, Mama!  Happy birthday!
