Thanks

For knowing that even though chocolate can't fix all your problems, it's an essential life ingredient

For understanding that sometimes the biggest questions don't need to be answered with words

For giving up the secret ingredients to more than kitchen recipes

For well timed hugs

For remembering all our favourites

For everything, big and small, seen and invisible

I can't imagine a more difficult job in the world than being a parent.  It's amazing to realize just how much your life has been affected by mothers; from the ones that brought us into this world to all the unofficial ones that helped shape us into who we are today.  A simple thanks could never be enough but it's a small start.
