"Well its always been my mothers drive and determination that has been the voice in my head but she lost her battle with breast cancer at the age of 50, and her friend, my step mother pick me back up and suted me off and pushed me right back on that path of life. She calls me every night just to see how I am and she has had this inner strength that I really haven't seen till this past year and then its like WOW I don't know how she does it, The family home burned down, my father had 2 heart attacks and knee replacement and then she took in her grand children because they needed a home, all this while she didn't have a home. living out of a rental and hotel till the money ran out she kept every one together and sane and manage not to loose her mind..So for Xmas They moved into my basement and it was tough for everyone but happy ending..the house is done and everyone has their own room and a place to feel secure, and we all lived through it. So I guess I luv her like my owm mom."
