My Mother Eulogy

My hero is Vesta Colvin, also known as my Mom. She is my chosen hero because she didn't just make sacrifices for me, she's made them for virtually our whole family. My mother is the youngest of two, but due to certain circumstances she had to relinquish that role. Her role as the youngest had to be relinquished because my aunt decided to start having kids at about 14 years old and that forced her to grow up faster than she should’ve

As we grow up throughout life, we hold onto many heroes as they have impacted our life. Looking into my personal life, my hero consists of my mother, Darla Linden. She defined a hero as “a person stepping up in a situation without thinking they also are in harm 's way”(Linden, Darla). Throughout my lifetime my mom has been there for me since day one and has helped nurtured me.. She sacrifices many things for myself and for my family by providing us with our daily needs. I can always count on her to point me in the right direction by pursuing my dreams and wishes. I admire her caring heart and faithfulness the most because she would drop anything instantly to help someone else in need. She supports me in all of my extra curricular activities and motivates myself to bring out my full potential. I get inspired by her courageous character by never backing down to a challenge and always finishing through. When I asked my mom who she picked as her hero she said, “the service men and women of all branches who fight for our country”(Linden, Darla). They provide us with safety by sacrificing

The first footsteps we've ever taken are the ones that have imprinted the inside of our mothers' stomachs. Mothers don't just give birth to us, they give us a life to live. Now, some might say mothers are supposed to give birth; it's a natural process that is their duty. It's physically straining to have a child, but it takes a true warrior to raise a child. It is often forgotten how much they continuously provide for us and how many sacrifices they make. My mother has been my inspiration, not because of her title as my mother but because she is the prime example of a what I call a hero.

I interviewed my grandmother. Her name is Sandra Sue Wardlaw. But I call her Mamaw. Mamaw was born in Dayton Ohio on July 25, 1938. She still lives in Dayton, but Brooklynn Dayton. Mamaws parents names are Roy and Ruth Strader. Roy is her dad and Ruth is her mom. Mamaw also has three sisters and one brother. Their names are Marcia, Cheryl, Lynn, and Jerry Strader. By now all of her sisters have married last names. Mamaw has lived all over Dayton Ohio. She attended Jefferson Township School System when she was in school. Mamaw is short and has grey hair. Sometimes she dies her hair blonde. She needs glasses to read and is very sassy.

I am by no means a writer, but I can't help but orate my thought about you. I can thank you for the two most confusing years of my life, most confusing 104 weeks of my life, and most confusing 730 days of my life. I can thank you for my sanity. I can thank you for those sleepless night lying awake wondering when everything's going to be okay again. There isn't a time I don't tear up thinking about it. There isn't a time where it's not in the back of my mind. There isn't a time where I don't imagine the things that y’all done to tear my family apart. I just don't understand women that know a man is married and will still commit such an atrocious act. I don't understand women that know a man has a family and will still partake in such a harrowing act.

Thank You for doing your absoulte best in rasing me. Not only did you teach me to be a strong independent women but you tought me how to be myself without you I don't know what I would do, so for that I thank you. Thank you for giving up your teenage life to be the best mom that you could ever be to me and my siblings. We might not have a lot but you taught me to not take anything for grated and to appresiate what you do have. Thank you Mom for being the mom that everyone wishes that they had and for the role model that came with being a mom. You taught me how to be the women that everyone desires to be, to not limit yourself to anything, to not give up when things get tough but to find the positive in the tough times and push through

Mom was in her late fourties and suffering from a terminal illness. My family gathered later to talk with hospice workers about how we could make Mom the most comfortable. Her physical needs as she went on from this lifetime were crucial to us, but we were also set on honoring mom's heart before cancer had touched her.

You are such a special woman. I thank God everyday for bringing you into my life. You are truly a blessing, and I am grateful for our friendship.

When I was younger, people told me that someday I would thank my parents for being tough on me. I figured this was at least somewhat true, but I wasn’t concerned with apologizes or gratitude. I remember thinking that I would just thank them when the time comes; why should I thank them if they’re just going to continue to treat me like a child? My mother and I didn’t always see eye-to-eye, and not just because I was only four feet tall at the time. My drama-queen attitude clashed violently against her soft, peaceful personality. I was obsessed with being cool, following popular culture, and trying to become everything that my mom wasn’t. Although my mother and I used to disagree on everything, she helped me become who I am today, and I have learned to appreciate her because she has been incredibly supportive, loving, and accepting of everything I do.

Every mom is special, but trust me there is no other mom who can be compared to your qualities and abilities. You amaze me every day with your strength and positivity. I wish you a year filled with health, happiness and everything you want because there is noone who deserves it more than you. I love you so much  HAPPY BIRTHDAY @shahnazakhtar1

I wanted to do this interview on my mom. That’s because I look up to my mom, she means the world to me. She has helped me grow up a lot over these last few years, I can’t ever thank her enough for putting up with me.Today you will learn a little about the woman who means so much to me. Her name is Kamilla Marie Colgan she is 34, and her birthday is on September 30th. I look just like my mom but I’m shorter than her and we have a few different features but we’re a lot alike. My mom has short, light brown hair, also the most gorgeous amber colour eyes I have seen. There is something my mom told me once that I will never forget. She said, “You have a big heart. When you love someone you love them with all of your heart; but when you hurt you hurt deep because you put

My hero is my grandmother because she inspires us to follow our dream. Even though she was diagnosed with cancer, she always encourages us to keep on going. My grandmother moved to the Unites States when she was only twenty-two

Getting ready for another picnic with my sister. Every Friday after school I pick her up in my old rusted out 68 mustang and we ride to our favorite spot, Louisville park right under the immense oak tree. Today was special, I wanted to give her the best picnic before she turned 13, being her older brother at age 18 it's hard. I don’t really understand some things. She goes through guy trouble and things along those lines. I mean growing up was rough for the both of us, parents divorced right after she was born. Having our mom being the only one to raise our family was hard but we got through it. God, most people I know may say they don’t believe in that type of stuff but, for me that’s the only thing that got me through all these struggles in

First, to my wonderful parents. You have given me a life suffused with love, support and friendship. I have been lucky enough to see eye to eye with you both, and look up to you at the same time. Please never feel that I have had a hard life. I have had twenty-five wonderful years, and I’m grateful to you both for giving me that. I am happy and at peace. My husband Sean. I love you all of my heart, and that is saying something. You, and of all people I know, will get through this. After all, we had been together for two years and it was the happiest time in my life. I have been so lucky to know you. You have been my steady rock, my gentle giant, my best friend, my everything. Having a family with you made my life worthwhile. And you gave me
