My Mom and Me

With Mother's Day coming up so fast, I've been finding myself thinking about those special times that I had with my Mom. My Mom ran a restaurant, and many of my days and nights were spent there, working along side of her. I don't know how many Mother's Day's we spent, running around the dining room on the busiest night of the year. It almost became a tradition...

When you work along side someone, in high stress situations, you learn a lot about them. And I have to say, working with my Mom gave me an outlook on her life. What it was like to be a single Mom, taking care of 3 kids, and running a restaurant. It wasn't easy for her at all, but she did it, every single day.

I'll never forget the life lessons that I learned in the restaurant, from how to run a business, to how to deal with customers. How to feed 300 people in less than 2 hours, to how to keep the place clean and organized. I grew up in a restaurant with my Mom and I wouldn't have it any other way. So this year, I think I may treat her to something special,a nice surprise from 1800flowers this mothers day.
