There’s a lot I can say about my Mom, but I will keep this short and sweet. If I am not at home, I am calling her while driving home from work. Now that she knows how to text, we generally message throughout the day … she has come to really enjoy sending me happy faces – which I find pretty funny. And if that isn’t enough, I’d say we both can enjoy a good episode of The Big Bang Theory together. My Mom is my best friend, and if the Backstreet Boys didn’t use the word “son” in their song “(Cause Mom You Always Were) The Perfect Fan,” then I’d say they wrote that song about us. Anyways, the lyrics still ring true.
“There is never a day that passes by I don’t think of you. You were always there for me – pushing me and guiding me, always to succeed. You showed me when I was young just how to grow. You showed me everything that I should know. You showed me just how to walk without your hands, ’cause mom you always were the perfect fan.”

lovely 🙂
I love those photos–the dream-like pastels, and the “together” shots. What a nice “thank-you” for your mother! I hope you both had a special time together.
What a WONDERFUL tribute to your mom, Emily. I dare say she feels the same way about YOU!
Emily, this is just such a beautiful post.

Thanks for reminding me of that BSB song! It’s been years since I heard that one. That’s so wonderful that you and your mom have a great relationship. I don’t know what I’d do without my mom either! I love the then & now photos 🙂
This is a wonderful way to show your Mom how you feel Emily… i love the shots of the two of you… then and now….peter:)
Thank you for the beautiful tribute! It means more to me than words can say. Can’t believe how fast the years have gone by. I am so proud of the beautiful person you are both inside and out. I not only love you I like you and I’m proud to be called a friend because that is how I see you. I am truly blessed to have you in my life. 🙂
Beautiful series!
