"All I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother."
Divine words from Abraham Lincoln.
My mother is truly saintlike in her actions; always giving so much of herself to others. I only hope that someday I can be as great of a mother and as great of a person as she!
Besides celebrating my mom's greatness, today was also a day of finding hidden treasures. We attended a mother's day brunch at my grandparents today and what do you know, she happened to have a genuine Indian silk sari!
She received it as a gift from an Indian friend of my grandfather's while he was in the navy. These are pics of her wearing it in 1975. (loving the cat-eye glasses!)
with my grandfather...
And here are my grandmother and I today, 2012.
(though any true Indian would probably cringe at my wrapping job!)
