Bananas are natures Hallmark cards.

I have a great mom, best in the world. My mom, unlike most people’s had to apply for me, wait on a list, pay money and pray to get me… I was adopted, when I was two weeks old. My parents wanted kids pretty badly, and after the passing of my older sister due to complications from being born premature, there wasn’t any certainty that they’d be able to have kids. Luckily, later on after adopting me they were able to have my brother and sister.

I’ve had a lot of time to ponder that moment, the most pivotal moment in my life, a moment that happened way before I possessed the mind to comprehend it. And it’s something I’ve come to be very grateful for. I was given a gift by two mothers, the one who gave me up, and the one who took me in. Not to forget my dad, who I’m crazy grateful for, but I’ll save talking about him for another blog.

If you’ve got a mom, I’d suggest taking the time to find a unique way of  telling her you love her… I used a banana note, try it sometime.
