Debbie Allen

Nixon calls her mother her best friend. "She will annoy the crap out of me and she can drive me crazy but she's the closest person to me, and I love her … more than anything." -Vivian Nixon

Don't you just love this photo of Debbie Allen and her daughter Vivian Nixon! You can feel the love and proudness beaming from Debbie. Her daughter Vivian is a true natural beauty and she is up to some fabulous things with her Broadway career, and in the footsteps of her mother, she has also received professional training from Washington's Kirov Academy of Ballet, The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and of course the dance studio ran by her mother in Culver City.

This brings us to question, what do you cherish most about being a mother and what are some things that you will always keep close to you as far as memories and experiences between you and your daughter or son? What would you hope your child(ren) will say about you when asked?
