Moms Make The Best Friends

By Abigail Wilentz
Illustrated by Amy Schimler

She was the source of unforgettable memories.
She took you ice-skating for the very first time.
She showed you how to pet a horse's nose.
She read aloud to you some of her favourite books that became your favourites too.
She let you try on her jewelry..sometimes all at once.
She helped you choose the perfect shade of your first grown-up lipstick.
She bought you your first pair of little black heels.
She urged you to fill your life with rich experiences - fill your passport with as many stamps as possible, taste the exotic flavors of different cuisines, learn the melodic sounds of other languages, and read, read, read, to immerse yourself in multiple points of views. Swim with dolphins. Sleep under the stars. Write Poetry. Paint, Wear fire-engine red and tango till dawn. You only get one chance, she always said, this is not a dress rehersal.
