In Honor of Mother's Day

When I was unemployed, I came across several videos of a group of shadow performers; Attraction, from Hungary who performed on Britain's Got Talent last year. I was blown away not only by their ability to make people, places, and things out of their bodies in shadow, but by their ability to tell a complete story through movement. And not just any old story, but heart wrenching, beautiful, and moving stories in about 2 minutes time in shadows. This particular story is based on actual events in the leader's life.
In honor of Mother's Day, I'm posting this video to remind us children that life is short and the time we have with the ones we love is limited. Even though we will grow up and possibly move far away, remember that we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us; without our mothers we wouldn't have the foundation upon which to build the future. I know I owe everything I have become and everything I will achieve to my mom because she's the one who always pushed me to follow my dreams and supports me while I work on making those dreams a reality. Although we fight and we're both too stubborn to see things from the other's perspective, we love each other. 
I love you mom. Happy Mother's Day! <3>
