A little phrase...

An enormous challenge..

With immense impact!

Today a group of us went to go see 

Disney Pixar's Brave!!!!

It was was Domenic, Luke, Nick and I 

& my brother-in-law, nephew, 

and my mom! 

The boys were all really excited to go see a movie and of course, even more excited that it was Pixar's new film!

WE LOVED IT!

The main story line is about a princess who needs to be brave enough to change her fate! However, it's such a strong message about the relationships between a mother & a daughter!

  

Well....I balled my eyes out! 

Shocking I know...

I cry during many movies...

nevermind Pixar movies!

Up! Wall-e! 

Toy Story 2! 

Toy Story 3!

 The list goes on!

The movie was very sweet with lots of laughs but the ending was so touching! Sitting next to my mom in the theatre, as we both sniffle away, I knew I had my topic for my next post!

 

Mary Catherine Pascarella is my amazing mother! My mom and I are 20 and 1/2 years apart! And while she has always made her role as my parent the highest priority, she has always been one of my best friends!

My mom is one of the hardest workers I know! She works tirelessly either with her job or helping friends and family members and sometimes with very little appreciation! For all the times I've added to your to do lists and given you extra worry....Thank you! I can only hope that one day, people feel that they can depend on me as much as they know they can depend on my mom!

My mom is one of the best listeners I have ever met! She is incredibly approachable and many people around her depend on her for advice. Whether it's venting about a bad day or seeking advice for a major life decision, she has a way of listening and giving advice while also allowing you to make your own decision!

My mom is caring, kind, & hysterical!

She's an incredible singer!

She has such a strong faith 

& a belief in family!

She's inspiring, supportive, creative, 

& exceptionally smart!

My mom has always been an amazing woman, mom, sister, daughter, friend, wife, & one of the best grandmother's around! 

Mom, 

I hope one day I grow up to be just like you! 

I hope I make you proud!

Thank you for teaching me 

all I know about being a mom! 

I know I will need many more lessons!

Thank you for always being a 

role model for doing what's right!

I hope I am brave enough to choose the happiest fate for myself and my family!

Thank you for helping me recognize all that matters....especially Happy Matters!

Love you!
