A Tribute to the Moms

Today I am reminiscing scenes from the movie Submarine. The first conversation goes:

Oliver: Mum?
Mother: Yes?
OliverWho would you save first in a fire, given the hypothetical situation that Dad and I were equally hard to save?
Mother: Ok, I’d go for you but I’d feel bad for your father.

Later on in the movie:

OliverDad, who would you save first in a house fire, given the hypothetical situation that both Mum and I were equally difficult to save?
Father: I’d save your mother first so we had a better chance of working together to save you.


This year Mother's Day is bittersweet - it's my first being a Mom, but also my first without a Mom. 

A special reminder for everyone to love your mom today, and every day. She already does so for you.
