People
say I’m a mini version of her, but I really don’t like them saying
that. They also say that whenever they see me, I remind them of a little
Aimee. There are good and bad traits she has. My mom and I are almost
the same. I inherited most of her genes and most of them I am grateful
for. We look alike, say the same things, and act the same. She is
someone I look up to constantly.
My
mom set very special examples for me. When I was little, she set
important rules and boundaries for me. Those rules prepared me for
things that I would face in the world. They inspired me to be special
and different than everyone else and not to be of the world. She is
somewhat patient, but didn’t bring that gene down. I will have to learn
patience and wisdom through her guidance. When I tell her what I did,
she almost always corrects me into what I should have done.
I
see what a good wife should be through her examples at home. She
teaches me how to care for a family and husband and how to work inside
and out of the home. I learned how to be a hard and diligent worker from
the direction of my mother. In 2003, my parents adopted two boys who
lived with their grandparents, who went to our church. My dad and mom
prayed about taking them in and decided to make them part of our family.
It took a lot of time to go through the process of foster care and
eventually adoption. My mom got tired out a lot because of the time put
into the boys.
My
mom is always involved with church, which is another example for me to
do as I grow up and become an adult. I am already involved with playing
piano for evening church, which she encouraged me to do. She is also the
leader of praise team, as I am also.
My
mom is a person I admire and honor. She has been there for me and will
always be. I hope I will be as good as a mom and a wife as she is. She
runs the household smoothly and has a healthy relationship with her
husband. I strive to be like her and will always be looking up to her.
God has put her as my mom for a special reason and purpose. God has the
perfect people in my life to guide me on my way through life.
