In the spirit of things, a tribute to my mother.

Her name is AmandaRuth.

She found this site first when I was in the sixth grade (2003)

I joined after she hit 2000 posts.

She is a kind, loving woman. Strong in heart and soul, strong in the mind. When things come down on her, she still is there. When things are rough, she gets tough.

Beautiful beyond imagination. Strong features of a goddess, who can protect and nurture even the those who do not want it.

Married to my daddy, she cares for him and respects him, and is still in love with him after all these years (They knew each other for a long time before they got married)

Had me when she was a little older than some other mothers (35), she still looks the same, if with more gray hairs.

No one I know, not even myself, can stand some of the things she has endured.

My Mom is the person that I admire most on this planet, living or dead, real or not real.

She brings warmth into my heart whenever she is near.

Even when we're a little mad at each other, she still loves.

Thanks Mom.

I love you.

:hug:

Because that is beautiful. :hug:

lovely.

I am sure she is proud of you!!

Oh, and if you can't tell, Mommy is the one with the glasses, and I'm the one with the curly hair.

:hi:

They don't last forever.

What a wonderful tribute to your Mom. :applause:
