I raised my three teens with love, perseverance, tenacity, sweat, tears, prayers, lighting candles, and the list could go on.

Good thing I'm aging, otherwise I'd be dead.

I'm happy for all who reached for the stars happily and successfully.

Think of your mother and smile for all of the good precious moments.

Don't ever lose hope because better days will come.

I love God, Jesus Christ, my three children, mother, father, brother, sisters, family in general, my pets, my students, and true friends.

My daughter and two sons are the flowers in my heart and garden.
