My momma is the biggest Inspiration for me , she is my love ,my husband and her are my world
My hero is my mom! A strong woman!
My hero is my mom! A strong woman!
My best friend, Linda. She lost her 17-year-old son in a car accident and somehow managed to pick herself up and go on. Even after the horrendous grief she felt, she was determined to not let it win. She is a happy, positive person and continues that positivity. She is my inspiration. She lights up a room when she enters and never has a bad word to say about anyone. Although she has moments, she doesn't allow the grief and the loss of her son to define her. She will always carry her son in her heart and choose to live life to it's fullest.
My shero is my mom. She raised three kids as a single mom and did an awesome job with what she had to work with. Sadly, she passed away in 1997 so she was never able to meet my kids and be a grandmother to them but I know that she is looking down on us and keeping us safe. I miss her everyday.
My grandma. My mom left when I was 2, so I didn't get that mother/daughter thing relationship. My grandma was the next best thing, even though I didn't get to see her often either.
My mother was my hero. She and my father did without all their lives so my brother and me could have a better life .
My mom Frieda Graham 1936-2004
My mom, in my opinion, the best woman in the world.
My mom is my hero, she has been through alot in her life , and still stands strong and powerful, never giving up and never stops praying. She is the definition of Andra Day's song, "I will rise up". She goes through alot with having to take care of her disabled dad who is now in ICU at hour hospital on life support and diayalisis. I know I spelled that wrong. sorry. But everyday gets up, puts that smile on her face, because her heart is full of love and compassion.
My mom. She was one of very few female welders back in the late 70's at the Electric Boat/General Dynamics shipyard. She endured a lot - physically, mentally, and tons of sexism. She did it to support 3 children on her own, and I'm proud she stuck it out!
my mom, because she is selfless
Inspired by Melinda Gates and her work through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Mom because she taught me that I can do ANYTHING! Thanks Mom! :D
Emma Coburn inspires me. She's an Olympic steeplechase competitor and also a distance runner. She motivates me to get out and run!
