She sacrifices her own dreams and wishes over and over again to make sure the ones she loves are getting what they need.
She's stubborn and opinionated sometimes and is known for telling it like it is, whether others like it or not, but she will do anything for anyone. She's got a big heart
She and I didn't see eye to eye about fifteen years ago, because I, too, am a little stubborn, but now she is like my best friend. She's one of my biggest cheerleaders.
She selflessly keeps my son while I work and refuses to let me pay her for it, even though I know her part time job on the weekends doesn't bring in a lot of money.
She laughs with me, cries with me, and teaches me.
She prays for me.
She is a blessing in my life, and I am so thankful for her.
I am becoming more and more like her everyday. Fifteen years ago I would have denied it and even been offended by it, but today I am proud to call her my mother.
What a great tribute to your mother. I love how that happens, no? And then later in life, not quite there for me but I am seeing hints, I will parent my mother...as the cycle of life continues.
