Every little girl has a woman to look up to as they grow up. There is so much beauty and something so powerful about being a woman. I am so lucky to have had the greatest ladies to look up to throughout my life. My Mom, Grandma and Great Grandma inspired me, loved me and shaped me into the young woman I am today and I could not be more thankful.
The foundation of my family has always been love, ever since the very beginning when my Great Grandma became a Mom. I have two awesome great aunts and the best Grandma in the world because of her. She put family first, no matter what was going on and she never stopped loving her family unconditionally. She was strong, opinionated, compassionate and absolutely beautiful from the inside out.
Her beauty and wisdom spread throughout my family and her traits were passed down to her daughters, onto theirs and then onto my generation. My Great Grandma showed us all what it means to be a great mother, sister, daughter and friend.
I find myself so blessed to have been able to grow up with a Great Grandma in my life for 18 years and she will live in my heart for all of my life. She shaped every woman in my family in some way and I owe it all to her, her kind heart and her beautiful soul.
My Grandma is the sweetest and most selfless woman I have ever met. She has such a kindness about her, but also has strength like no one else. She puts others above herself every single day and has the kind of heart I hope to have someday. She has done so much for me throughout my life and our bond is so special. I am so thankful for her for loving me the way she does and always being someone to lean on.
My Mom is not only my Mom, but is also my best friend. She knows me like no one else and has influenced me in so many ways. Every one tells me that I am just like her and I always take that as a compliment. My Mom is strong, outspoken, kind, smart and absolutely beautiful. She puts her family first and works so hard for us every day. I truly have the best Mom in the world.
I see so much of all three of these women in myself as I continue to grow into who I am meant to be and that is such a wonderful thing. I have been inspired by them in so many ways and I strive to become more like them every day. I hope to be as wise, intelligent, kind, hardworking and compassionate as them. I hope to become a wife as loving and supportive as they are. I hope to be the kind of Mother that loves and cares for her children like they have.
There aren't enough words to explain how grateful I am for the women in my life. They have molded me into the young woman I am today. They loved me, shared their wisdom and gave me everything I need to be the best woman I can be. I owe them all of my success and all of my abilities. I can only hope that someday I will have every quality that I admire them for having.
Being a Mother is such a beautiful thing. It is powerful and touching and absolutely incredible. Make sure to always thank the women that created you and shaped you into the person you are today and make every second with them count.
"She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue."
Proverbs 31:26
