YESTERDAY WAS MY MOMS BIRTHDAY. I COULDN'T DO MUCH FOR HER EXCEPT TAKE HER OUT TO EAT. WE WENT TO ONE OF THOSE CHINESE BUFFETS WITH THE CRAB LEGS. WE LOVE GOING TO THOSE. WE SIT AND EAT CRAB LEGS FOR LIKE TWO HOURS. ITS HARD WORK BUT BOY ARE THEY WORTH IT. EVER SINCE I CAN REMEMBER SHE AND I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED SEAFOOD. I REMEMBER AS A LITTLE GIRL ONE TIME WHERE SHE HAD BOUGHT A TON OF SHRIMP. SHE CAME HOME AND COOKED THEM AND WE SAT ON THE FLOOR AND ATE THEM TILL WE WERE READY TO BURST. WE MAY BE SMALL PEOPLE BUT WHEN IT COMES TO EATING WE SURE CAN EAT MORE THAN OUR WEIGHT IN FOOD.
MY MOM IS MY HERO IN MANY WAYS. SHE RAISED MYSELF AND MY TWO YOUNGER SISTERS ON HER OWN SINCE I WAS 8 AND THEY WERE 3 AND 1. SHE WAS BORN IN POLAND AND WHEN SHE WAS ABOUT 12, I THINK, HER MOM SENT HER TO AMERICA TO LIVE WITH HER AUNT AND UNCLE. THEY WERE VERY MEAN PEOPLE WHO MISTREATED HER. WHEN SHE WAS 16 SHE WAS LIVING ON THE STREETS. SHE SOMEHOW MANAGED TO MAKE IT THROUGH ALL OF THAT TO BECOME THE WOMAN SHE IS TODAY. MY MOM IS ONE OF THE MOST HARDWORKING PEOPLE I KNOW. MOST PEOPLE THAT SHE CLEANS HOUSE FOR TREAT HER AS IF SHE IS FAMILY. THEY SAY ALL THE TIME THEY WOULD NOT KNOW WHAT THEY WOULD DO WITHOUT HER. SHE IS ALSO ONE OF THE MOST KINDHEARTED, LOVING PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD. UNFORTUNATELY, PEOPLE SOMETIMES TAKE THAT FOR GRANTED, SO THEREFOR SHE HAS HAD HER SHARE OF HEARTACHE. IF NOT FOR MY MOM I WOULD NOT BE THE PERSON I AM TODAY. SHE HAS TAUGHT ME TO NEVER GIVE UP ON ANYTHING AND TO ALWAYS LOVE THOSE AROUND ME. SHE HAS ALSO TAUGHT ME TO BE A STRONG SELF EFFICIENT WOMAN. WITHOUT HER I DON'T KNOW THAT I WOULD HAVE EVER COME TO KNOW THE LORD. I THANK HER FOR ALWAYS TAKING US TO CHURCH AND INSTILLING CHRIST IN OUR LIVES. I KNOW THAT THERE WILL PROBABLY COME A DAY THAT I WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITHOUT HER AND BELIEVE ME THAT IS GOING TO TEAR ME UP. SO FOR NOW I JUST WANT TO TREASURE EVERY MOMENT I HAVE WITH HER. I HOPE THAT SHE KNOWS HOW MUCH I LOVE HER AND JUST HOW MUCH SHE MEANS TO ME. I HOPE SHE KNOWS THAT DESPITE WHAT SHE MAY THINK, THAT SHE WAS AND STILL IS THE BEST MOM EVER.
THANK YOU MOM FOR NEVER, EVER GIVING UP AND ALWAYS LOVING ME. I LOVE YOU!!!
