I love MOM

She may not be perfect, but she is MINE.

and my brother's...

and my sister's...

but she's mine too.

There is a lot that I've learned from my Mom. She is a sweet person, sometimes too sweet and nice. Overall that isn't a bad thing. She has a big heart, she will give and give until she can't anymore.

She is a nature lover. She has shown me the joys of being outside and seeing the beauty that grows around us. She knows her flowers, she has TRIED to teach me that as well. Green thumbs aren't inherited, but it is loved and itimidated as much as possible.

I love my Mom's energy. She exudes happiness. When you see her, her face lights up. Emotions worn on her face is a trait I did inherit.

She is strong. She's been through so much in her life, so many things that would break a person. She may be damaged by them, but she is still living life and making herself a better person daily. I admire her.

Though times are tough for her right now and all of these traits are teetering, it is all of them that will get her through this and will make me follow in the same fashion.

I love you Mom, I need you Mom and I hope that she knows it.
