my mom’s the most selfless person i know. yes, you can name several people famous for their service to humanity, but i see my mom’s service first hand.

i don’t think she knows how much i admire and appreciate her– it’s probably my fault. but i do watch her. i do learn from her.

my mom just gives, she doesn’t just give money– she gives herself. it’s her time, her talent, her resources, her heart. she missed the ’80s and a big chunk of the ’90s because of me and my siblings. she was so deep into raising us gremlins into civilized God-fearing human beings that all she knows from the music of the era is Kid’s Praise Kids, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Strawberry Shortcake… well, you get what i mean.

when we’ve grown up (well, grown bigger), and could take care of ourselves, in a way… she focused into church and ministry.

and i haven’t even mentioned how she deals with catankerous and belligerent old people.

she is a great example of how to be a wife and a mom.

i know better than to argue with her now.

i want to be like her when i grow up (but maybe with a lower voice… and a smaller waistline. hihihi)

“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.”
