I'm taking some time to remember and honor the memory of my greatest example in being a woman others loved and respected. I only pray that I will have such a fine name in the eyes of others when my life ends. I hope you enjoy reading and sharing this personal moment with me!
On February 24, 2000 my mom lost the battle against cancer. She was only 74yrs young and still living quite a vital and active life. Mom was a strong and beautiful woman and the vital cord that kept our family together. Being a respectful and loving wife and raising 8 kids is a major challenge in any time, but she and my dad did it with grace and love. Today I wanted to take a moment to remember the many things I've been taught by both of my parents to make me the woman I am today. The one thing I loved most about my mom is she showed me that you can be a respectful and supportive wife without feeling like a lesser person. I saw at a young age what it means for a couple to show mutual respect and consideration for one another and each be proud of their role in their marriage. The lines were clear and even we as children knew it.
