This was written by my son's dad...comes to show what he really thinks of me but isn't "man" enough to tell me and has to write it...but it's all good :)
I am reposting this as he wrote it word for word, only I'm fixing the spelling errors lol
Every child models some behavior of a parent. As a parent I would like my child to model more of his mom's behavior. The reasons are that she's tough, ambitious, and successful.
First, his mom is a very tough woman. We could say she had it bad and a few low blows (not physical) that I gave her, but she refused to give up on herself and more important on her children.
Secondly, she's a very ambitious person. She never settles with less than she could accomplish. With kids and all she managed to find the time and struggled to put herself through school. There has been many brick walls in her life, but one way or another she always made it to the other side.
Finally, she's a successful woman today. She's landed a job in computer programming and has become nothing more than a computer nerd. She makes great money now, but still takes courses in the afternoon three days a week. She admits how tired she often gets but never lets that stop her from achieving even more success.
With the toughness, ambition, and success that this woman has modeled, who wouldn't want their children to possess these characteristics. In my eyes at least, she has earned the right to be called MOM.
