Actually MY mother, to be specific.
Today is my mother's birthday, so what better day to salute her than this? I don't even know where to begin. Never in my life have I met anyone as strong, loving, smart, funny, beautiful, and caring as my mama. To me, she is the perfect model of what a Black woman should be. She is bold and educated, and will not be treated poorly. She has been there for me in ways that I couldn't even begin to count or explain. She's always there to listen, she gives good advice, she's a prayer warrior, and she makes really good pancakes from scratch. (Y'all know I love food so I HAD to throw that one in there, lol).
So I stated in a previous post that I am a daddy's girl, there's no denying that, but every day there's something that I do, say or think that shows me that I am my mama's daughter, through and through.
What my mom (and my dad) have given me, that means the most in my life, has been encouragement. There was never anything I didn't believe I could accomplish. If I said I wanted to be an astronaut, lawyer, doctor, teacher, veterinarian, physical therapist-- whatever-- my mom would be there behind me every step of the way, reminding me that I can succeed. She ad my dad are the reason that I am where I am today.
She's an amazing mother, the best daughter two people could have ever asked for, a wonderful Soror, a friend. I can only hope that I can be half the woman she is. Happy Birthday mama!
