Challenge Day 7

Well, I took the weekend off since I spent the day on Saturday at the Jewish temple for my class and spent Sunday simply relaxing with the family. Today I am sharing a picture of myself and the person I've been the closest to for the longest time. So here she is:



My mom! For as long as I can remember, she is the one person who has always been there for me...no matter what. She has sacrificed so much for me, there is no way that I could possibly repay her. When I was afraid of the Wicked Witch of the West, she'd let me snuggle up on the couch with her and hold me until the witch melted. When I wanted to dance (A LOT!), she drove me from practice to practice and sewed costume after costume, without complaint. Okay, maybe she complained once or twice, but she still sewed sequins until her hands wanted to fall off! And when I came home with the man of my dreams, she filled his stomach with her delicious Cajun cooking and his life with her unconditional love.

There has never been a time when I didn't know that my mom loved me. From the beginning of my days until this very day, she always makes me feel like I'm her favorite, even though I know I have to share her with my three sisters. But that's the beauty of her...she makes everyone she encounters feel important, special, and loved. So Mom, this blog is for you, in honor of every bandaid you applied, every tear you wiped away, and every encouraging word you ever spoke. I love you!
