My mom was an amazing woman. Bright, determined, and way ahead of her time in so many ways. She was my mom, but she was also a mentor and my friend. She pushed me to be the best that I could be and always made me believe that anything that I wanted to do was possible if I worked hard enough for it. She was right about so many things and I miss her every day. It’s hard to believe that she’s been gone from my life for longer than she was in it. This is my mom’s graduation photo. I have to assume it’s from high school although she looks so young to me in this photo!
