My mom has always inspired me! Very wise and kind to everyone.
My grandmother always inspired me
My mom inspires me. She has always kept our family financially, emotionally and spiritually strong. My mom molded me into the lady I am today by her wonderful values! Even though she is now 81 she still holds us all together and keeps us all in check!
The women in my family, especially my mother have been a true inspiration to me.
I would say my mother.
My mom, she has always encouraged me to do something for someone else, it will make you feel better!
