My mother was a wonderful woman... her faith was so strong... she was the best mother i could ever have... on January 5, 2004, my mom died of an asthma attack...

My whole life changed that day...

When i think of my mother... i think of hope...i think of faith...i think of love...she was 47 years old, and she left behind 5 kids, me being the youngest (14)... all she wanted was for us to be happy and for us to love god... my faith has grown so much, she was such a wonderful mom!

I had such big dreams and she always pushed me toward my goals! She just wanted me to be who i want to be...she knew what she wanted and she knew exactly how to get it...by praying.

Her relationship with god was like none other i have seen, every morning she would be reading the bible and writing in her journal... her and i alone went to church, happiness was never far away when i was around my mom... she was loved by so many ppl!

She was a reporter for the local paper, everyone knew her...everyone loved her...everyone will miss her... in a small town like this with a population of 1200, hugs aren't too far, and memories linger...but love will always be near...i loved my mom...i always will... but her love is like the wind...i cant see it, but i can feel it... i love u, mommy!
