What is a Mother's Day tradition for you and your family?
Each year for Mother's Day my mother, sister, and I spend the entire day together. I give her the choice of what she would like to do. As the older sister, I have always had the job of orchestrating the activities. She can choose anything from lunch and a movie to a hike and reading books together. She has a young spirit and finds joy in anything and everything we do. I strive to make it about her and my sister and I always pitch in for something very special to give her from the two of us. We spend the day together adoring our mother and rejoicing in her happiness. 

What is a fond memory you share with your mother?
My fondest memories of my mother are all of the memories. She is such a beautiful soul and her warmth made growing up in such a loving and supportive environment so memorable. We laugh a lot now and did a lot then. She is like sunshine!

What is the most valuable lesson your mother taught you?
My mother has taught me so many valuable lessons. Perhaps the most valuable lesson I have learned and continue to use daily is the importance of my character. She taught my younger sister and me to always have a pure heart. Kindness is her motto and she has lived by that example my entire life. 

What would you like to thank your mom for?
I would like to thank my mother for her unconditional love and for being the best example of what a strong, intelligent, confident, kind, and brave woman is supposed to be. She is the very definition of a mother. I hope that one day when I become a mother, I can be just like her and teach my children to enjoy life and to always have courage and to be kind.
