as viagens de mãe

Looking at her you would never guess the journey that has been traveled to get to the now. Traveling by ship from Brasil to the US as a child, traveling from New York to California and then continuing to travel everyday as a flight attendant this very day. This woman loves to travel. One thing I’m most amazed by and proud of in my mother’s travel is her journey of life. As everyone has their trials, tribulations, joy & simple moments, my mom, too, has had her share of obstacles to overcome and joyous moments to celebrate.

At times she drives me crazy and I drive her to complete and utter frustration. We are part Latin you know, feisty. But at the end of the day she is my mother. I’m so proud of her. I have come to appreciate her even more during life’s latest changes. It’s funny how most “kids” always try to be so independent. But the other day I let go for a moment and I realized how that’s ok. That’s what mom’s live for.  I let my mom do our laundry the other day and I have to admit it felt good. And, I’m sure it made her feel awesome. (I know it did, come on she got to do MY laundry)

She’s awesome. Love her.
