Standing Talll!!!

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.
