First Steps

"When I was a child, my mother said to me,

'If you become a soldier, you'll be a general.

If you become a monk you'll end up as the pope.'

Instead I became a painter and wound up as Picasso."

- Pablo Picasso

First Steps Are Giant Steps! 邁開人生第一步，笨拙吃力，

幸好有媽媽厚實的臂膀當靠山。媽媽永遠是孩子人生旅程的燈塔、

加油站、避風港。謹以 Picasso 勾勒母子情深的畫作、Picasso

懷念母愛宏偉的文辭，祝福普天下母親，母親節快樂！
