Awe Moment #11

Mothers. My mom definitely deserves a blog post dedicated to her. She really deserves a blog that's all about her but I don't think that would interest people too much. My mom is my hero! She has been through so much and she still stands tall and rolls with the punches. I am about to shower her with compliments.

Cathy O'Connor is the name. She is beautiful inside and out, she gives the best advice, she's spiritual, selfless, loving, smart, hard worker, she's the best at making food out of a box, she snorts when she laughs, she's hilarious, she has road rage, she is humble, she is an animal lover, she is so thoughtful, and she is my role model. 


Without my mom I would not be the woman I am today. She has taught me so many life lessons. Growing up I was such a brat to her, and I think back to things I used to say to her and I am disgusted at myself. I'm surprised she didn't disown me.
One thing that I truly admire her for is her independence. She is going through a divorce and she is not letting it push her down. She is working three jobs to put a roof over her and my brothers' head. With her busy life she still finds time to text me every morning telling me to have a good day and how much she loves me. It's so hard living 12 hours away from her. Whenever I'm having a bad day all I want is to hug my mommy, and that's hard to do when she is in California. I hope to one day become half the woman she is. She is one tough cookie.

This post is for my mom other moms, the grandmas, great grandmas, aunts, and guardians out there! Without them AWE MOMENTS would not be possible.
