At the end of the summer, my mom and I went for a bike ride. 

This was my first summer away from home, and sadly I wasn’t able to see my parents as much as I had hoped. 

Visits home were few and far between, which made them that much more special.

I asked my mom if I could take some pictures of her on this bike ride.

I love these pictures of my mom. I feel like they show her spirit and kind energy.
