She'll Show You!!

Hooray for Mom/Gramma!!!! We are sooooo very proud of you Mom!! You did it and did it well. Congratulations!! I am so excited, we knew you would do it.... NO MORE MATH!!!! For those of you who don't know what an accomplishment this is, let me explain. My amazing mother returned to school after 25 years of devoting her life to raising us kids. She hadn't had to take a math class since 8th grade!! So returning to school was not only it's normal challenge but kinda scary too. I can't speak for the whole fam but as for me and my Mom.....we hate math, it is a hard subject for us....we do much better with people than with numbers! Anyway, 3 years later and A LOT of hard work and studying she has kicked math's butt!! (pardon the explicit words) Not only passing but passing with a B+!!! Wahoooooo!
You are the strongest, most amazing, loving, fun, empathetic, wise, caring woman I know. I owe all that I am to you. I cherish our friendship. I cherish all that we have been through... good, bad, hard, fun. You are an inspiration to many, and an angel to many more.
WE LOVE YOU MOM!!!
