Happy Mother’s Day!

Strangely enough, I’ve almost always called my Mom “Mom” (e.g. the word in English for “Mamá” in Spanish). I think the reason being that I (and all of her children) have lived in English-speaking countries for most of our adult lives. Last year (summer of 2010), my Mom had an opportunity to taste what the life of the Hummingbird604 was like, and for that I’m very grateful. I think when she comes visit me this year she’ll know what to expect. In Mexico, Mother’s Day is celebrated on May 10th, so I’ll have a new post on here (and in Spanish, which is our native language, even though my Mom reads and speaks English fairly well). In the mean time, Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mom’s out there. Being as close to my Mom as I am, despite the physical distance that separates us, makes me realize how important the mother-son bond is. Hope all the Moms out there have a wonderful day.

…and we always called her “Mummy” or “Mum”….a little more “UK” version of the more US American “Mom”….
