My mom is my biggest inspiration in life. She has always been there for me. I appreciate her very much. She’s worked as a nurse since before I was born. When I was injured in the fall, she took very good care of me, taking time off from her work staying home to watch over me. No offense to my dad but, I don’t think I could live without her. The same goes for my grandma, too. She raised her very well and I thank her for that. I really couldn’t ask for a better mom.
