Wishing you all a great Mother's Day!
Thought I'd share my shout-out to the Ski Moms from my blog:
Remembering our moms is important. They give us life, bring us up, and then bravely, inevitably, let us go. But this Mother's Day, let's give a special shout-out to the Ski Moms. After all, it's the Ski Moms who make sure everyone has the hats, goggles, ski pants, boots, etc. they need on the slopes. Who dress and undress the kids. Assemble the lunches. Haul the equipment. Harbor a secret stash of tissues/sun block/chap stick/energy bars for that unavoidable emergency. Accomodate multiple bathroom breaks and all the dressing and undressing that goes with them. Provide encouraging words after a fall. Drive to and from the mountain. Attend ski races. Wipe noses. Wipe tears. Administer first aid. Put on and remove boots/jackets/gloves/helmets. Make sure nothing gets left behind. Arrange ski lessons. Make sure the kids wear helmets.
For all you do, ski moms, for all your unwavering love, devotion, and support -- we salute you!
And to my own mom, who doesn't ski and never did, here's to you, too. Thanks for supporting my skiing when I was a kid, and for continuing to support it -- without ever asking 'why' -- now that I'm an adult.
