RINA COHEN
“THE DAUGHTER OF MY MOTHER”
To nurture. To love. To raise. To grow. To cry. To laugh. To feel. There are not enough words to define being a mother. My mother is a superhero. I am so incredibly fortunate to have grown up in such a loving environment and to be raised with such unconditional love. She is not only a successful business woman and the life of the party she is also my emotional rock, she always shows up for loved ones, and she taught me that positivity is truly the best medicine. As a newlywed, I am able to fully see the extent of what my mom did for me, and I hope that I can be a mother like her someday. Her ability to balance multiple roles while consistently showing up for her family has shaped my understanding of love, sacrifice, and selflessness. As I reflect on my own experiences as her daughter, I realize how much of my identity has been molded by her influence and the legacy I hope to carry forward.
Je T’aime Maman.
