Mum, Happy birthday

I recently read Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book. In this book the main character has a guardian called Silas who springs from nowhere to have Bod in impossible situations. As a reader you know that this character is a hyperbole, no one can be like that. But for me, my parents aren't far off. They have been my savior while on the other side of the world.

My Mum is my hero. She is the kindest and most passionate woman I have ever met. Through all the trials and tribulations of raising three children the only time I have ever seen her temper waver is when talking about social injustices in the world. There is nothing that matters to her more than the wellbeing of others and if that isn't the most beautiful trait then I don't know what is.

Happy birthday Mum, I love you so much.
