There are few people in this world that have the ability to inspire and enlighten, to build up and take to heights greater than any imagined. My mom was one of the few. Her ability to see beyound what a person was, and see what they could be...what they had the potential to do with their lives was amazing. I think about it and I feel so special. My mother was never a doctor but she had the ability to heal the broken hearted without even trying. I know because she healed my heart many a time. She was never a firefighter but she pulled so many people from the flames of despair that I lost count. She was never a school teacher, and she didn't have a degree of any kind, but she taught me more than I could ever put into words. Things like honesty and intergrity, about love and dedication, and about pain and selflessness. My mother was not a saint but she was about as close as they come. Times when I question what I'm here for, when I sink into sadness, I remember what she stood for, the values that she instilled in me and I find my answer. Some people say I've changed, and I am the first to admit this, but the things she taught me will never leave me, and it is only those things that I care about anyway. What else is there?
