A mother is a boy's first, great love. My mom is a wonderful, rare woman - strong and constant and generous as the sun, as kind and gentle as warm rain, and as steadfast as the irreducible earth beneath us. She was the foundation beneath my feet and the soft pillow for my dreams. Even to this day, when asked where my home is, I'm tempted to reply, "where mom is."
Mom, I will always attempt to become the man that you preceived me to be.
