There are so many, I could probably write a book. Mom was always so strong, she was strong in her opinions but also she felt things stronger than most. When I was around 14 years old a saleswoman was nasty to me. Mom had lent me her credit card to buy clothes while I was out at the mall with my friends. The lady yelled at me and made me cry saying it wasn't my card to use. Mom came to bring my friend and me home, she took one look at my face a charged in there and went complete "Mama bear" on the woman. The woman was soon stuttering apologies and getting her manager to help us. That was the day I realized that I never had to be scared of anything, because my Mommy would always protect me. She was always my security blanket even when I was hours away. She always told me "how it was", pushed me to be better, and called me out on my crap. She knew it was the only way to deal with me. The world just became a darker place without her light to guide me. We all feel rudderless without her to direct us and tell us what to do. Love you always Mommy.
