Happy Mother's Day!

I’m dedicating my blog today to all the mamas of the world. Thank you moms for all of the wonderful things you do every day for us kiddies. We wouldn’t be here without you…literally! I find it kind of funny how we dedicate only one day out of 365 to celebrate moms. Every day should be Mother’s day! Moms make the world go round. All moms are working moms whether they are full-time moms, or hold three jobs, and they all play a large part in molding their children into the adults they will grow up to be. So thank you moms (and single dads!) for being so wonderful!

I could not write a Mother’s Day blog post without dedicating some time to my mom Tish. How to put into words the person that Tish Ferguson is? I have never known a more caring, dedicated individual than my mom. She would give the shirt off her back to anyone in need (she actually has done that) and is always there for any friend who knocks on our door. All have always been welcome in my home, and she makes others feel as comfortable as humanly possible. Over the years, she has done everything for me. My birthday parties, shopping trips, hair styles, prom dresses, dinner dates, and so much more was all made possible thanks to her. She was the one who brought me to New York so many times as a child and allowed me to experience all that wonderful city has to offer. She has listened to my dreams and has never scoffed at my aspiration to become a published author - in fact she has encouraged me to write more. I owe it all to her. My mom has taught me so many lessons over the years. When I was younger, I thought she worked long hours because she wanted to – she had to enjoy it right? As I got older, I learned that she worked till midnight night after night for my family. She wanted to help provide for us so we could go on vacations and have nice Christmases year after year. I learned that everything she ever did was for my brother, my dad and I. I’m eternally grateful for it all, and I’m sad today that I’m in Ohio while she is home in NJ. Next year, I promise I will be taking you out for a nice brunch and buying you a well-deserved gift. No one could be more proud of you or love you more than I do!

Happy Mother’s Day! xoxo
