I unfortunately was unable to attend #pride this year due to my new job. I was going to ask for the day off but we're short handed and it wasn't a possibility. I was super bummed when I came home from work the morning of #AlbuquerquePride and and my mom, who doesn't quite approve of my lifestyle notices how invest I was before I went to sleep for my next shift. So my mom surprised me with this most amazing gift ever. She painted me the Pride tree. When I woke up that afternoon my showed my this amazing painting she made for me and said,"I made you something special, because you need to remember this day of Pride event though you didn't get to go to your parade and have something to remind you this day is special no matter what" My Mother unwavering support and love for no matter the circumstance or her beliefs is why she is my hero!! #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqia #pride2017 #pridemonth #ILoveMyMom
