Happy Mother's Day

Today we celebrated a day for the moms out there and in true Ann Salamone (that's my mom) fashion, she hosted a family gathering. My mom will forever be a true mom, her favorite thing is to have her family around the table and something delicious cooking on the stove. She does not have to eat in the finest of restaurants or carry the most expensive purse, what puts a smile on her face is her family and it makes me one of the proudest and luckiest daughters to have such a mom. In November after returning home from a family vacation, mom went to the doctor's to be treated for cellulitis, which is an infection of the skin. I went into mom mode, cooking dinners for her and my dad, calling her every second of the day and just trying to be like a "mom" to her. Three days after mom was treated for her problem, I was rushed to the hospital to have emergency surgery on my abdomen and there was mom by my side even though she was still sick herself. I remember coming home from the hospital and she was off to the market to get the ingredients for soup. For one week, I stayed with my parents and mom took care of me like only a mother could and I will never forget that time. Even though she was sick herself, she put my recovery first. Thanks mom for always taking care of me and for always being mom. I love you. Happy Mother's Day Mom! I hope you had the perfect day!!
