Why does she rock?

After leaving my father when I was very young she quickly had to take the role of provider and both parents, working countless jobs to make ends meet. When I was 13 my father passed away and she became the only person holding us together. Now as a mother of four, she is always going every second of her life she is taking care of someone else or and never takes a moment for herself. After working 12 hours a day she’s cleaning, cooking, paying bills, taking care of the kids, the yard and everything else, it’s never ending exhaustion. I wish she could know how amazing she is and take a moment to appreciate herself. My mother is strong, intelligent, beautiful and empowering to others. She has touched so many people during her life and I wish that she could have something in return. My mom is everything to me. I want to nominate her for “My Mom Rocks” because she does and she is just that, a rock!
