My Mother, My Hero

Pop quiz! Bet you didn't see this coming.

Who helped raise her 8 (yes, EIGHT) younger siblings, even though it meant leaving high school early?

Who saw to it that her daughter got to experience opportunities that she never had?

Who did it all without losing her fabulous sense of humor?

The answer, of course, is my mother! Because of her, I got to play on the boys' basketball team in high school. That was something unheard of back then! (Okay, I'll give you a hint. It was back in the ‘70s. Whether it was early, mid, or late ‘70s, you'll just have to guess). To help put me through college, my mom designed and sewed Barbie clothes and sold the outfits on the weekends. And while it may have been easy to be bitter over lost opportunities, she never was. I've always found her sense of humor and take on life inspirational.
