I know I know it's cliche but hey if there was any other woman who could do so much and still not take our heads off then show me her and she'll be at the top of my list. To start off my mum is retired but instead of living a life of leisure she takes care of our entire family. From my grams to my little brother. She takes care of our Gram covering everything from getting her to appointments, daily calls about the happening of Grossemont Gardens (the assisted care where my Gram is), to making sure she gets to her weekly hair appointment on time. She takes care of my Great Aunt making sure she gets to her weekly eye injections for her Macular Degeneration. Then there comes my immediate family, where she shuffles my brother and I to all of our various events ranging from volleyball to karate to meeting with friends. She helps my dad in his business almost on a daily basis, she is constantly on the phone with suppliers trying to order parts or talking to other men about what piece of equipment is better suited for what we need.
She somehow manages to juggle all of this in and still have time to pay attention and to support us in the things we chose to pursue. I hope that when I have kids of my own that I will be able to juggle half as well as she does. I love her dearly and appreciate her to no end.
