My mom and I have always been very close. She is my best friend. She had to make a lot of sacrifices early on in my life to make sure I got to do what I wanted to do.
As if one could know the good a person is capable of, when one doesn't know the bad he might do.
I'm not a great believer in awards-of course the fact that I've never won one has nothing to do with it at all!
