Day 16 - A picture of someone who inspires you.

So usually i'm against writing under these because it kind of ruins the whole "PICTURE challenge" thing, but this is necessary. My mother (to the left) is my inspiration, because of the way she is/the way she does things. Sometimes things get shameful, mostly on her part, i.e. times when she decides to stand in the middle of the kids aisle and play with a "bop it" for ten minutes while shouting "LOOK ANGE, I CAN DO IT!!!" but regardless, she is the coolest. I didn't have the greatest dad and well he walked out on us, she was a single mother to me and my brothers for sixteen years so far and she's managed well, and she's still kick-ass. She's a strong woman, she doesn't let things pass her by if she thinks they're wrong, she can hold her own in any situation and she damn sure shows it. She says her honest opinion, but is careful with peoples emotions. And though she has a tough exterior, she can take a joke and definitely make one. Shes raised me, loved me, and put up with me my whole life and if that's not dedication, i really don't know what is. I want to be just like my mother when I grow up, because then I can be sure that i'll be a good woman. :)
