			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The most difficult thing of living in the United States is how far away I am from most of my family. Social media has bridged the gap a little bit but on day&#8217;s like today, Facebook wall messages, e-cards, Twitters, email and Skype phone calls don&#8217;t always cut it. But then I thought, &#8220;Hey! Don&#8217;t I have one of those blogs?&#8221;</p>
<p>Here is a little somethin&#8217; somethin&#8217; about the greatest woman in my life. I figured a blog post in her honor would get me closer to letting the whole world (or the 10 people that read this blog) know how much I love her.</p>
<p>Happy mother&#8217;s day mom.</p>
<p>Man, how cool is social media?</p>
