All she ever wanted was her family to be happy safe and healthy. She strove to make that want real. She liked food and family and football and music and my kids and her kids and hard work, which she did a lot of. She may have had to quit her job but she never quit on me and my brother. She gave me my fierceness, my drive and my resilience to make it thru life. When your mom is breaking her back working providing. Who will be there for me? My brother? Or my kids? For me that person was my mom She was my friend, my best friend. She was a coach, a secret keeper. She was the most loyal woman I've ever knew. She was a strong irreplaceable woman. Someone who was there ALWAYS Sometimes that's all you need from a mother. Someone who's there...someone who's available. Who cares. And who you’re becoming. And where you want to by. And where u want to go My mom was there Always!!! And now she's not and That's the hardest part
