This last month has been a revelation on how much I love my mom Menka. She's been the strongest, bravest person I've ever seen... her sense of humour intact even after multiple surgeries. Happy birthday mom! Today's a good day to come back home. Can't wait for you to get strong enough to start fighting with me again.. I lov you. (sic)"
