My Mom

First of all how cute is my mom? I mean seriously? Today is my mom's birthday. I can't believe how old your getting mom! jk haha. My mom raised us on her own since we were babies. She had to play both roles as a parent, day in and day out. Not having much support to help her, we all had to lean on each other to get through some hard times. No matter how difficult things got for her, she never showed us her struggles. There were days that food in our house was low but her peanut butter & jelly ritz cracker sandwiches always did the trick.
She has sacrificed so much for us, we were and still very lucky to have the type of mother who loved her children SO MUCH! Our bond as a family is unbreakable. We are extremely annoyingly close and I don't know how to ever thank her enough for never giving up on being a mother to us. There are so many mothers who would of thrown their arms up and quit but not her. We wouldn't be half the woman we are today if it weren't for her.
Her strength is admirable and determination is contagious. I know personally, because of her guidance and teachings I wouldn't be half the mother I am today. My mom alone raised the three of us and because of her my older sister Maritza is now finishing her masters, my little sister graduated with a teaching degree and is now employed by Teach of America, and myself a mother of two, not yet finished school although I know I will one way or another, but for now I'm going to enjoy watching my two little ones grow while saving the world one kid at a time :)

Happy Birthday Mom! We LOVE you SO MUCH! Always know I'll come visit you when your old ;) hahahaha just kidding..you know I would let you live with me in a back house..hahahaha but seriously.....I would take care of you ") XOXOXOXO!!!
