MY HERO
When I think of the people who have come in and out of my life there is only one person who has always stood by me, believed in me, loved me, taught me, laughed with me and cried with me. My hero....... My Mother.
She is more than a mother she has held a standard of living life that I can only hope to live up to. She doesn't just do life. She LIVES IT!!!! The people around her can feel it. She is filled with love, kindness, understanding, truth, warmth and giving.
Don't let it fool you though she is not one to be taken advantage of or bullied. She has been down that path and knows it well. Another great attribute is she learned from it and now can see right through people with those characteristics. She may have never lived on the streets but she carries the street smarts necessary to carry her through any of the hustlers that come her way.
My mother has stood by me and nurtured me through many difficult times. Some of those times neither one of us would have never have healed if we didn't hold our hands together, our heads high, and our voices shouting loud, "THE BUCK STOPS HERE!". We lost family and some friends when we did so but we gained a bond that can never be broken and health was restored to our family.
She gave me the strength to face my demons and let them go. My Mother has saved my life more times than she knows. She is not just a pretty face or a soft spoken peace keeper.
She is wiser than anyone knows. She can move mountains, tame lions, beat cancer, love the unlovable, and bring hope where hope seems lost.
She is my Hero and I have so much more to say but for now I am going to stop right here. My heart is hurting I want to be with her now and I can not. Anyone lucky enough to know my Mother Edythe Stomme is blessed beyond their knowledge. I know my dad knows this. Do you?
