The first person who comes to mind is my mom - she is my hero. My teacher, my comforter, my friend. I don't think my mom foresaw herself as being a mother of four and a homeschool teacher for 20+ years when she was my age. But, she's done a kickass job equipping her kiddos with skills to enter the real world - she's instilled a strong work ethic and encouraged us to offer our best in all we do. She's been there for every silly heartbreak, put band aids with a healing kiss on all our wounds, and sat through every single sports tournament, recital, and performance as our biggest fan. She's been chauffeur extraordinaire and top chef for decades.
I actually think my mom is cool, and not too many kids say that about their mothers. She's someone I would choose to hang out with on a Friday night. We have fun shopping, drinking coffee, and talking about everything and nothing at all.
Mom is first and foremost Joanne, a very talented individual from Queens, New York. A creative writer and hobbyist singer. A walking dictionary and motivated self-taught student of random, but useful facts. Perfect-hand-bag hunter and Zappos shopper. A devout Christian, loyal daughter, loving wife, and committed mother.
I hope one day I'm as awesome as my mom.
Thank you. I am typing teary eyed. You have no idea how thankful I am to be your Mom. Your a kick-ass daughter :)
