Welcome To My Inspiration.  I know not a stronger and humble woman.
Full of Strength, She has been a God-Send in my life and I am
Thankful everyday she's in my life.

When it comes to trying and turbulent times in our lives -
we often stop and ask ourselves why. Why do bad things happen to good people?
Within life there are many tears and disappointments.
There's heartache and there's pain.
Sometimes our spirits become tired and we want to give up and throw it all away,
finally to rest in peace. But that's not the Lord's will, especially for you mom.
I've seen you cry, and I know your hurt and I've heard you ask God "Why?"
I'll tell you why mom... I see in you hope and strength that's immeasurable.
God kept you here cause you are special. Your faith and courage are inspirational.
Especially to me. What happened to you was devastating, yet you pulled through.
Broken hearted, broken spirited and broken boned.
You put you life in God's hands and went for the bumpiest ride of you life.
I can only hope I am half as strong as you, when I am put through life's tests.
As I grow and learn new things in life,
I know I'll never forget what I have learned these last few years.
The strength and hope you possess is worthy of the highest envy.
God kept you here for a reason mom, to prove love, faith, hope and strength will get you through any of life's unfair paths.
Whenever hardships arise I think of what you've accomplished
and it all seems a bit easier.
You've become my hope, my strength, and you've renewed my faith.
I love you mom,
and I'm blessed to have such and inspirational and wonderful woman in my life.

In the year of 1997 my mother went through life/death brain surgery. Not only did
She have to learn to walk all over again - She had to start all over again.

Her husband of 23 years left her when she came home from the hospital.
Thank God for my mom's friends - or she would have been disabled with out a home.

The first few years were the hardest on her,
and that's when I wrote the above poem for her.
I read it aloud at a 47th surprise birthday party for her - everyone there cried.

I dedicate this space to her - my inspiration.

May all be blessed with someone as strong as my mother in their lives.

Celine Dion - Because you loved me
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I’ll be forever thankful baby
You’re the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You’re the one who saw me through - through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ’coz you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I’m grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don’t know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ’coz you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You’ve been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ’coz you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ’coz you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me

I’m everything I am
Because you loved me
