My mum and me
My mum and me

Whenever I see this photo of my mum and me, I always smile.  We were both laughing about something, perhaps over a funny story.  I have such few photos of just my mum and me – I don’t know why.  Perhaps we are usually so focused on getting everyone else in the photo.

We live so far away – I in New York and she in Vancouver.  I think about my parents a lot, and today on Mother’s Day, I’m missing her.  Two cool things about my mum:  she has such a great knack for storytelling, and perhaps that’s where my sisters and I developed our tendency to over-dramatize a story!  My mum and I also share a favorite pastime:  we both love to eat and TALK about food, any kind as long as it’s delicious.

Mum – Happy Mother’s Day to you!  I hope to soon feast on  good Vancouver dimsum and share some funny stories again with you.
