A woman who made me want to be a mom

This would be my mom. She is a wonderful mother. We had so much fun when we were kids. We made cookies, played games, read. Holidays were always so special. There were decorations and little things to make the holiday memorable. Of course there were times when she wasn't my favorite person, but that is another reason she is a great mom. We were taught to be kind, selfless, respectful, helpful people.

I thought my mom was the norm, but didn't know otherwise until I was "old"! She made us a family and that is what I wanted. I just hope I have given my children some of what my mother gave me.
