So we celebrated my mom’s retirement party on Wed. Aunt Margie did an amazing job of organizing it. 

Pretty cool to see my mom’s reaction…even cooler to see Aunt Margie’s reaction. The love between sisters knows no bounds

It was a fun night for all. A funny roast from an ex classmate.  A friend’s candy poster. And plenty of running around for the little guy and a cousin. 

All in all…a huge success. 

My mom worked hard her whole life so it was nice to recognize her efforts. Most importantly, she was an amazing role model to her kids. She perfectly balanced work and family….and as any parent will tell you those aren’t always easy days. So she has all of our admiration. She never missed a game or recital…all the while putting in full work days.  And for that I’m thankful.
