To be honest, I could sit here and tell you all things I admire about my mother but it would take the rest of my life. She’s the number one person in my life, the one I look up to, etc. I’ve said this before and I will say it again. Everything that has been right in my life is because of her influence. She has made it right and I really don’t know where I would be if I had anybody else’s influence growing up. Clearly, nobody else would be as admired in my eyes as she is. That being said, I worry about what my life will be like when she is no longer around. This is something that I need to remind myself isn’t currently the case sometimes. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in that thought, (mom is gone, etc,) that for a split second I believe that she actually is only to realize that she isn’t when I come back to reality. When this happens, I change the thought not wanting to think about it until it happens.

However, nobody will ever have such a big impact on my life as she has had….no matter how hard they try. My mother is my voice of reason and honestly, my reason for living. Without her, I really don’t care what happens to me. Like I said though, I do not want to think about that until it happens.
