An Ode To My Mom

For spoiling me just enough.

For giving me the money to buy my very first full frame camera.

For teaching me how to be kind to everyone, and I mean everyone.

For showing that giving support is as important as receiving it.

For showing up after a long day at work and travel (2 hours each way) to watch me perform in a school play.

For your constant belief in my abilities, even when your not exactly sure what I’m doing.

For still teaching me even now when I’m sure you thought your job would be over.

Thanks Mom

My beautiful mother, June Shepherd
