Celebrating my mother

I have been on a 𝙹 𝙾 𝚄 𝚁 𝙽 𝙴 𝚈 for 20+ years with this woman...

I have allowed her to be broken.
I have allowed others to treat her disrespectfully.
I have allowed her to run through brick walls and battle for others who won't even stand for her.

I couldn't stop others from abandoning her, but I've seen her fall and STAND BACK UP SEVERAL TIMES and be a light for the world, and love others despite all of it.

I have stood paralyzed by fear while she fought battles in her mind, heart, and soul.

This woman has made many bad and good decisions as a wife, partner, mother, daughter, sister and as a friend.

She has trusted and believed in people who didn't believe in her.
She has a sassy mouth, a stubborn streak
She has scars.

Some people love this woman, some like her, and some don't care about her at all...

She has done good in her life, and she has not done so good in her life

Every mistake, failure, trial, disappointment, success, joy, and achievement has made her into who she is today.

This woman is a 𝚆𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙸𝙾𝚁
She’s not perfect
She is unstoppable, gracefully broken, but beautifully standing.

She is 𝙻𝙾𝚅𝙴.
She is 𝙻𝙸𝙵𝙴.
She is 𝚃𝚁𝙰𝙽𝚂𝙵𝙾𝚁𝙼𝙰𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽.
She is 𝙱𝚁𝙰𝚅𝙴.
She is RESILIENT
She is LIGHT
She is PURPOSEFUL
She is PRAYERFUL
She is WISE
She is a MENTOR
She is an INSPIRATION

... and she will never stop learning, growing or moving forward...

she is my mother
