I could talk to her about absolutely anything. Together, we shared laughter, tears, and a lifetime of beautiful memories. Mom taught me respect, determination, and compassion. She was my rock, guiding me through every high and low. Mom, I miss you so much. Wherever you are now, I want you to know that you will always be my hero. You are, and forever will be, the wind beneath my wings.
