a solid rock

Today I heard my mom tell me with tears in her voice, "Today is not a good day." It is amazing the impact that has on me. Here is this person who has been my rock, my one true parent, my constant encouragement, source of unconditional love dealing with things no one should have to deal with. She's amazing. And I will never be able to thank her enough for all that she has taught me, shown me, given me....I hope to be as strong as her when I grow up. Not so that I'll be able to have a tough face and never let anyone see my heart but so I'll be able to take life with joy, whatever comes my way.

I'm going to go see her, maybe that will cheer her up!!!
