As I get older I realize more and more the true unshelfish love that a mother has.
My mother was only 23 when she had 4 children. She came from a family of 11 and my grandfather was an
alcoholic. My mother was determined that her children would have a better life than her.
She worked so hard, my parents lived on a chicken farm, she had big gardens and would can everything
she could get her hands on so we would have wonderful food for the Winter.
She taught me and my siblings about sharing, love and caring for other people. She made sure we went to
Sunday school and on Easter, had a new frilly dress and patent leather shoes. He He She would allow me to
have 3 of my school friend spend the night at one time. She was so proud of us when we graduated from highschool.
My mom always did without so that we could have, she is a very private woman. She is an inspriration to me. My mother's love and sacrifice is what helped mold me into the person that I am today!
I would be proud to be half the woman that she is. I love my mom very much and know as her and my dad
are getting older that I won't have them forever, so I cherish each day!
Happy Mother's Day, Lecia...
