Harmony and daisey's


To tell you what my Mom has done for me will never do justice to any words I can write in a blog.
I'm gonna try.

She is the reason I stay proud and hold my chin up high when times become rough. She gave me the wisdom to take care of my family. She taught me to find myself before I could give it away to someone else. She taught me to stand up for myself in a world that will eat you up inside if you dont stand strong. She keeps me humble and lifts me up when I feel like I could fall. She taught me how important it is to give back in your own way and not to expect anything in return but the feeling that your doing something good.

She has taught me to enjoy the little things that really count. To hold my kids hands for no reason and let them splash in the tub. To take walks in the leaves and play with them on the ground. She looks at my babies as if they are her own and she pretty much the only one that can yell at them without me budding in. She takes time to to all the extras that Grandma's usually do. But she does things for those boys that I cherish daily. Like going to every soccer game, even when it's at 10 am, in the rain, on her day off. Or making both boys hug and kiss her as SOON as they see her. and see her hold them as if they are Joshua or I.

She put her life on hold and worked 2 jobs to make ends meet and still spoiled us rotten at Christmas. I cant remember anything she missed and we were in a ton of things. Her world revolved around us and she is the most selfless person I've ever known.
She taught me about Karma and creativity. She gave me confidence to do new things and always work hard at anything I do. She is the kindest, most genuine woman I could ever have as a role model. I will always look up to her, my mom, my best friend.





She is my harmony and she is my daisy.
