On this date in [year redacted] the legendary Vera Parkin, AKA my mom, was born. If you know her, you already know how awesome she is. Most of the good things in my life came about because of her and my dad pushing me in the right direction, giving sage life advice, and being all-around wise and caring people. She's had a similar effect on the hundreds (thousands?) of students she has taught throughout her career as a music educator. I've never met anyone who is more devoted to helping others become the best version of themselves. Happy birthday, mom. You're the best.
