“This is my mother. She is the strongest and bravest woman I know. She lost two children in her life but but she always kept going. She is the glue that keeps our family together..”

* Her daughter is absent from the photo but the story is about the lady in the pictur

“What do you admire most about her?”
“She is a tough one, No matter how hard the situation is she never gives up”
“Can you give me an example of her being tough?”
“She is 91 years old and a few months ago she broke her hip. The doctor said the injury was so bad, she would probably never walk again. But my mother didn’t take no for an answer and now step by step she is walking again.”

“I don’t believe in spoiling my grandkids. If they want to cuddle that’s fine but if they prefer to be by themselves that is ok with me. I treat them as adults and teach them how to respect each other. And you know what? It really pays off. The other day I was visiting my 34 year old grandson and all of a sudden he said: You know what grandma, I hope you never change. I love you just the way you are.”
