Europe April 2023 - 7 Year Anniversary Trip

Paris; Rome; Switzerland; London

This video is dedicated to the Two Mothers in my life.

First, my wife Angelina is an extraordinary mother who has gifts and abilities that I do not possess that make her keenly aware and in tune to everything our kids need to grow into physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy people. The best way I can describe it is she is like the “Horse Whisperer” but with our children. They both love and adore her more than anything I’ve ever witnessed. I’d be lost in this parenting life without her. I’ll let the video of my muse do the rest of the talking.

To my own Mom who all throughout my life has tirelessly worked to ensure we were never without, never felt less than, and always had the best whether that was clothes and shelter or experiences. I don’t think she is able to just allow the people around her that she loves to settle for mediocrity. She has always for me as a kid, an adult, and for my own children always sought to make our worlds bigger and brighter. Even now as a grown man, I’m now at a spot where I’m much resourceful/self-sufficient than I was as a young Father in my late 20’s that at times would get in the red and my Mom without me even asking would just know I need the extra help and be there, but even now she doesn’t stop.

This trip as envisioned would have been an A- trip with my means, resources, and creativity. She always finds a way to generously sprinkle on finishing touches and bridge the gap to perfection to help make this an A+ trip.

I imagine it never ends. Motherhood is permanent, the desire to support your children in their positive goals/pursuits/life experiences and extend their grace/sensibilities to bridge the space between.

As I reflect, to my friends/family with similiar faith/belief, Motherhood seems very much in similitude of Christ.

Thank God for my Wife, my Mom, and to all Great Mothers. Happy Mother’s Day!
