Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there!!
May 14, 2017 is probably one of the most important days of this year. This year, I am lucky to still be close to my family even though I am in college.
To celebrate Mother’s Day, my dad took my family out to Fleming’s Steakhouse which is known for their premium steak, fish, and many other dishes! I decided to get a Miso Chilean Sea Bass with an arugula salad and horseradish. The rest of my family got some type of meat, but that’s what’s usual for my family since I do not prefer meat.
Anyway! I am so grateful for my mother! I don’t know if I said that yet, but I just wanted to write a small little piece dedicated to her.
My mother, Mimi Funabiki, is the strongest and most caring mother I could have asked for. I remember as a child she would cook me meals and tend to every scrape, cut, or bruise. She would read me my favorite bed time stories; If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and Green Eggs and Ham were among my favorites.

My mother has been there for my football injuries which include: torn ACL, fractured wrist, concussions, and dislocated shoulders on multiple occasions. Despite the number of injuries, many times I have been impatient, and countless times I have asked for her help, she has never let me down.
My mother doesn’t like cheesy things so I know she’ll hate the last sentence I wrote. However, you just have to say things the way they are to your mom’s right? I mean, I love my mother, and there is really no other better way to say it: “Thank you for everything you have done for me, from cooking for me, to tending to my injuries. You have also been an active listener and source of my perseverance, I am grateful to have you in my life!”
