Missing Mom on Mothers Day

I  know for many people it has been hard for me to be so far away in Israel, myself included.  I just wanted to dedicate this post to my wonderful, amazing, beautiful, caring Mom, Joanne.  She has been my rock for so many years and has helped me to be able to do all of the things that I have done.  Without her I would not be here experiencing this amazing year in Israel... I miss her terribly every day but I know that she is proud of the things that I am doing here.  Just wanted to say on Mothers Day that I am sorry that I can't be with you at home to celebrate but I am thinking of you and I miss you so much!!

Mommy in Israel!

I know another Mom who isn't mine but is very special to me.  Just wanted to add a very Happy Mothers Day to my best friend and mother of 3 beautiful children, Nicole.  I love you and Happy Mothers Day!!
