The universe is brimming with scintillating colors, places, faces and beautiful things and my mother is one of them. When I was younger, my imagination seemed weird to a lot of people because I could say things like “I want to be like my mother in my next life”. My mom is a disciplinarian, she is the epitome of love and fun. She happens to be the person I admire the most in the entire world. When she woke me up on that unforgettable Monday morning, it was my first day in my new school. I was ten years old at the time. My mom sat beside me and paid careful attention as I voiced my fears and uncertainties about my new school and the kind of friends and teachers I was going to encounter.

Her smile lights up my day, every day. And her smile just happens to be the most beautiful thing in the world amidst the pain, anger and frustration that sometimes irks my daily life. Words cannot describe how much she means to me and my entire family.

All her attention was transferred to me, she never left my side until I made the recovery necessary to allow the doctors to recommend me to be transferred to another hospital. I lost five ponds in two four weeks due to that illness. My mom, bought a ticket for us and flew me back home immediately the doctor told her we needed to stay for four days. This singular act of love and care, that she showed me during that moment of a life threatening sickness, uncovered a lot about her disposition and values, I had never seen prior to that time. She is an ordinary woman, but she has done extraordinary things that even made me wonder at her strengths and capabilities. She inspires everybody she comes in contact with. You just can’t remain the same after meeting my wonderful mother.
