My mom

My mother is the sweetest mom ever. (ok Mother Therasa was pretty great). She is the strongest woman I know. Her heart is so big and so tender that the people that others avoid and reject my mom actively seeks out and befriends. She has endured such heart ache that would break a heartless man, but she sailed through it with grace and poise. If asked, I am convinced she would literally give you the coat off her back. I have seen her give more even to her own detriment. My sweet mom loves her family so much that when my sister was little she decided to stay home and home school my siblings and I. This is a strong independant woman were talking about so being cooped up with three toddlers I'm sure was no easy feat. But she did it and made sure to raise us up the way she and my dad felt was best.
Not only is she strong, poised and gracious, she is also incredibly smart. Last year she went back to college to get her degree and has decided she wants to be an English professor which I think is absolutely fabulous. Those future students are going to be very lucky to have her class. She sailed through her first semester with a 4.0 and is well on her way to do the same in her second.
I deeply admire my mom and love her with all my heart. I am so blessed to have her in my life. She has the perfect advice to give when it is requested but also knows when my stubborn self needs to figure it out on my own. She is a loving "Mimi" to my daughter and I know she will be a huge part in raising my little girl to be a wise godly independent woman.
 I love you so much mama and am so grateful I get to be your daughter!:)
