I want to take this time out to wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day and to NEVER forget the important role that mothers play in this world. They are the true beacons of wisdom and frtitude in our lives and this cannot be denied. I was raised solely by my mother without a father after he died prematurely when I was 6 years old. She was the strongest, most influential person in my life and I think about her every day. I lost her to cancer four years ago and I try to live my life as a testimony to her spirit and confidence that she had in me while she was alive. I still feel her incredible spirit with me wherever I go and I only hope that I make her proud with what I am trying to do with my life.BKT
