tried but true-my mom. she persevered thru a lot. she taught me how to face the world. i sure miss her!
My mom Aurea
Roseanne. Because she made it big from being a housewife
My Mom because she is so strong and supportive.
Both my grandmothers and my mom are all my inspirations and heros in their own special ways! My granny Green, has inspired me by showing me how to always be my best self. She has taught me that no matter how I may feel inside, I can always push through! My granny Martin has inspired me by teaching me how to take care of my house, my kids, and myself! She helped me keep my head up when times were the worst, and she taught me that even with just a little, I can have ALOT, and to always be thankful for what I do have! My mom has inspired me in so many ways as well, she taught me how to turn even the worst situations around, and she taught me that no matter how old I am or how far into something I have gone, I can always turn it around and make it into something beautiful! Without these three women in my life I am not sure where I'd be today! I love you granny martin, granny green and momma! Thank you for all you do and have done!

I am lucky enough to be surrounded by strong and influential women in my family, but a non-family member that I admire the most is the photographer Lee Miller. If you don't know who she is, look her up, she is amazing.
I can not post a picture or a video the woman that is my hero is dead, passed away many years ago and she is my mother. She was born with poilo told her parents that she was going to die from this and never be able to live a normal life. She did live and carried on and over came the disease. She fought all her life teased in grade school, about 1 leg bigger than the other her parents got divorced in the 30s and was teased about that she ended up playing sports was a lifeguard got married had 2 children lost her husband while his being a plumber all by the age of 22. Remarried had another child and passed at the age of 52. She showed us children so much about the fight to live and to fight for your happiness, She will always be my Mom but my hero also.
My mom was a single mom and raised me and my sister on a maid's salary. She sacrificed a lot for us and taught me the value of hard work.
My mom for being selfless, knowlegable, forgiving & loving. And my sister for being courageous & strong!
My mom is one amazing person. She has brought so much joy into so many peoples lives and is totally selfless
My mom is my hero because she is always there for everyone no matter what.
