My Amazing Mom on Graduation Day

My mom was an amazing woman. Bright, determined, and way ahead of her time in so many ways. She was my mom, but she was also a mentor and my friend. She pushed me to be the best that I could be and always made me believe that anything that I wanted to do was possible if I worked hard enough for it. She was right about so many things and I miss her every day. It’s hard to believe that she’s been gone from my life for longer than she was in it. This is my mom’s graduation photo. I have to assume it’s from high school although she looks so young to me in this photo!
