Tribute


Today is something special, yes a wonderful thing. Particularly someone very special.
A person who gives with everything that they are and then gives some more. Someone who has helped influence and shape my life. Thus on this "blog" I need to give credit where it is due and thanks my mother, because I'm not going to do it on Mother's Day. Okay I might and should, but today is her birthday so that's why I'm doing it today.
I met my mother just over twenty-four years ago as a young fetus. During that time my mother was always feeding me through this tube in my belly. She kept me warm and safe for nine months. Then I got free and she cared for me more. That's the story I have to tell.
My mom is one of the toughest people alive. I remember one day when we were playing bump and she dislocated her finger. That pinkie was sticking up at about a 45 degree angle from the first joint. But of course she was all laughing about it like "Haha, look at this guys". She finds the positives in everything I think and I could certainly do more of that (not that I don't do any).
So today the tribute is to the world's best mother: MINE!!!


In other news, this last weekend was super fun. My family and I went to Stanley Park on Sunday night which was the super sweet and on Monday me and Melissa went on a photo journey (taking pictures for the website I am building) to some great destinations including Cremona, Didsbury, Carstairs, Olds and Airdrie. At one church I had to take pictures of there was nobody to be found inside the church, but it had been surprisingly unlocked, so I went on an adventure to get into their soundbooth and turn on the sanctuary lights (since nobody was there at the church to help me). At another point, Melissa had the bright idea of using the toilet paper in the camera case as prevention for my continued blood flow from pouring onto my Dad's camera even more than it already did. It was her fault though, she did punch me in the face. All in all it was definitely good times, so this can be a tribute to her as well I guess.


Oh yeah, I guess my calling card for this site is to post a picture of myself in every post, but this post isn't about me, it's about these fabulous females. But I suppose I can give in and post a picture of one woman's handsome progeny and one woman's handsome fiance.
