So I thought as I begin to post photos from the wonderful Mother's Day sessions I had in May, I would choose a word for each post that represents who and what Mom's are.

Resilience

Mom's have to keep on keeping on even when everyone else can't or doesn't. They possess this amazing drive that even when their feelings are overwhelming, the housework is piling up, the circumstances are hard and the meals won't make themselves - they just do. Mom's are driven, obviously by love. I've seen Erin keep on for her family and she does it with a smile, because she's such a loving woman.
