For the spirit of Mother's Day, I had to write a tribute to my Hero, my best friend, and my sister at heart, My Mom.
I am so happy that every year there is an entire day dedicated to mothers who well deserve to be appreciated, and recognized.
MY mom is much different than most. She is young, and was dedicated to being a mother since the day I was born 20 years ago. She was 16, and I have no doubt that she was scared out of her mind. She could have put me up for adoption, or she could have done many other horrible things, because she wasn't ready to be a parent. But in our perspective, it was all meant to be. We grew together, and faced a lot of challenges together from day one. My mom is strong, she is loving, and she is caring. She set the rules for me when I needed rules, but she was there as a friend for me when I needed one. She always remembered to put parenting first, and being the cool parent last, she made me do chores, clean my room, and always do my homework before I was aloud to go anywhere. She set the bar high for me, that I would succeed in life, and she still does.
She looks out for my health, and makes sure that I am taken care of before she takes care of herself. She based her life decisions all for me. From who she dated, when she went to school, who she hung out with etc. I am also prouf to say that she was able to handle all this while still getting her highschool education, and later becoming a Nurse. SHe never gave up, so she could give me a healthy and pleasean life.
She is my Hero for keeping me in my life, when I am sure others told her not to. She is my best friend because she has ALWAYS been there for me as a child needs her mom. She is my sister at heart for our challenges we have faced together, and have shed tears together. And she is my mom because we were put in eachothers to bless eachother, because God knew that we would be the perfect Mother and daughter together.
I am still her baby girl, and I always will be. And I am proud to have such a strong, beautiful, and
amazing mother who I know will never give up on me, and will never stop wanting what is best for me. Happy Mothers day MOMMA!!! I Love you!
