Mother, I love you so

Happy Mother's Day to all present, past, and future Mothers.

I'd like to take a break from cycling today and thank my mom for what she has done with me over the course of my short life.

A few of the items I have learned from her over the years:

• Persistance - keep your eye on the prize and work with all your might till you get there. I think this is a Permann trait but my mom helped to instill in me the right prize.


• Faithfulness - years of service do not give a right to a spiritual vacation. She showed me that you accept, be, and act according to your beliefs and values. Let those shape who you are always.


• Order - be neat in all you do. My mom showed me how to organized. She didn't give me a Franklin or talk to me about task management. She just showed me by her example in the home its importance.


• Beauty - my mom loves flowers and butterflies. She helped me to have a feeling side - not just all chest pounding, weight lifting, and football.


• Love - unconditional and always regardless of where, how, or who I have been, she has shown me a love only a mom can offer.

Thanks Mom for all you have done and currently do. I love you!
