These words came instantly to mind when thinking about how to best describe my mom. But it's quite a challenge to try and sum of the greatness of a person such my mother, Dana. At first glance, she is strikingly lovely. A woman who is aging gracefully and still radiates with a youthful smile. She'll talk to you and appear slightly shy and at times will simply say nothing, yet everything at the same time. Beyond a first encounter, she is a lady who wakes up every day, and puts herself last on her list. She has patience far beyond what anyone should. She exhausts herself in all aspects of life in which often times, she is completely unappreciated. She carries her burdens and never asks for anyone to help her or to listen to her. She never complains. She is stronger than anyone that I have ever known. She has deserved the world and more.... and in so many ways has not received it.
No other person will ever teach me such grace, such patience, such love and kindness, than her. She has taught me what it truly means to put others before yourself, to work hard, even when you don't want to. She shows love and mercy to all things, even the smallest of God's creations.
No other person has ever done or will ever do what she has done for me. She has been the sole earthly source of my success. The motivation behind my procrastination, the comforter to my endless tears, the only prayer on my darkest night. You never gave up on me. & you rose to an occasion to compensate for another's great failure.
Hero: a person of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his/her brave deeds and noble qualities.
a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal
Happy Mother's Day to all mothers who are heroes. & to mine... the most beautiful, Dana<3
She is clothed with strength and dignity.
She can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom,
& faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household
& does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise
& call her blessed. Psalm 31:25-28
