Mother Appreciation Week!

Hello everyone. It seems that I, Emily, must do the first post this week, because the soon-to-be-punished Chuck forgot to post yesterday. If anyone has ideas for a punishment, please leave a comment. We will be sure that Chuck suffers for his absent-mindedness. Mwa ha ha ha... *cough* ... excuse me.

So, since we began the week with an entire day devoted to appreciating mothers, we decided that we should appreciate our mothers for the rest of the week as well. Hence the theme: Mother Appreciation Week!

I'm going to take this opportunity to first of all brag on my mother, because she is awesome. All four feet, ten inches of her. She was born on Guam to Filipino immigrants, and went to college at the University of Hawaii. She's a classically trained singer, as well as a voice teacher. She is... how to put this... REALLY GOOD.

I owe a lot of things to her, including (in part) my love for music, and most of my education. Since I'm homeschooled, she taught me every subject all the way through middle school. You have no idea how much patience that took. She was also my first piano teacher, and taught me how to read music. Last year, she taught the choir class at my homeschool co-op (and did a fabulous job, I might add).

But all of that pales in comparison to the incredible job she's done just being mom. She's always been there. She always knows how to cheer me up when I'm having a bad day. She's a great mom, and I almost find it sad that I have to be reminded once a year to appreciate that. I probably don't say it enough, but I'll say it now: I love her, and I am really going to miss her next year when I'm at college.

In conclusion, I love my mom. She's the best.

DFTBA,
Emily
