So this past weekend was all about family... I spent the day with mom. We had a great day and evening, no pressure to do anything, we just sat around and talked, well Zack talked alot !!! It was nice to get our minds off of everyday life stresses and the worries of the rough year that the family has had. Sitting with mom and just talking has made me realize what a tough "cookie" she really is. She raised my middle sister and I all by herself, no help from my biological father, I dont think he deserves to have that title but I am having a moment of respect here... To this day I have never heard her ever complain or ever have any regrets about her life.... She was left to raise the 2 of us with no financial help from anyone, we didnt have a father in life, but looking back now, those were the happiest days of our lives. Mom showed us all the love and support that any child could ever dream of having... We went on walks to the library, to the park, Dairy Queen..... we were always crafting or doing something fun.... I have nothing but happy memories of my childhood and I too hope that when my Zack looks back at his childhood he has the same memories..... I owe all that I am today to my mom.... She is my role model and I hope I can live up to her expectations... I am soo proud of her for being such a strong person.... she's been through alot especially these last few years with dad being sick but she is truely an inspiration to me and in case I havent told her lately I LOVE YOU MOM
