At the time of my birth it was found that I had or should I say have a
condition known as Osteogenesis Imperfecta and my mother was told I
would not live beyond the age of three years. Well, looking back on my
life now, at the age of forty-nine, I have to say that I got much of my
strength from my mother. She was always there for me growing up and
continues to be here for me, even today. Whenever I awoke from an
operation she was there at my bedside with a gentle touch and a warm
smile that would light up the entire hospital. It was through her that I
gained the courage to fight for my life and if there was one person I
would like to be most like it would be her. Her strength, her spirit,
her love and her understanding are all traits that I feel all humanity
could benefit from and the world is a better place having her in it. I
love you Mom!
