Mothers Day is right around the corner, and I am so blessed to have such an amazingly beautiful gifted mother to celebrate with, and that alone is such an incredible gift. However, when I started to look back I have been blessed with so many strong women have inspired me to be who I am today, and it is all of these great women that I choose to honor on such a beautiful day. It seems that every woman in my family is strong, faithful, and teaches me by simply living. So, I found this essay or whatever you want to call it, and thought it was very appropriate, because most of the things I’ve learned were through one of the incredible mother figures in my life. My mom, Lana, all of my grandmothers, Kimmy Campbell, Ms. Bolin, Ms. Ruth, my teacher’s, Jackie, Dana, and the list goes on. I love you all, and count my blessings everyday to have you in my life. I hope you hve a Happy Mother’s Day, and thank you for being a part of my crazy life!
