My dad passed away ...My mom was absolutely amazing. My dad passed away when I was 6 and my younger brother was 2. My mom went back to work full-time, finished college and earned her Masters degree. We never lacked for love and there was always plenty of food on the table. Her hard work and dedication inspired me to earn my own Masters degree. Now that I'm in my 40's, I look back with wonder at how amazing my mom truly was. She passed away over 10 years ago and I still truly miss her. One amazing and powerful black woman.Calvinhttp://www.yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219803351075030577.post-48743186551444546062011-05-08T22:27:47.248-04:002011-05-08T22:27:47.248-04:00I myself don't know where to start, but those ...I myself don't know where to start, but those who really know me, know that it was not an easy feat for my mom to raise me! To say that I gave her many sleepless nights would definitely be an understatement! To say that she spent many nights on her knees in prayer, would be an even bigger understatement! Nevertheless, she never gave up on me, and it's because of this that I am the young lady that I am today. There are not enough ways for me to show my gratitude, so this tribute serves as a means of telling the BEST mom in the world, THANK YOU!!!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03758068760222124258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219803351075030577.post-47797181541480737632011-05-07T17:02:23.671-04:002011-05-07T17:02:23.671-04:00Wow, you've had me thinking about this for a w...Wow, you've had me thinking about this for a while and I just can't do it...I can't summarize what my mom means to me in the comments! So I narrowed it down to this one thing: her fierce and unconditional love for me and my brother. The rest is icing on the cake!<br />Christine@TheAumsMamaThe Aums Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185295586179720264noreply@blogger.com
