   Love is a funny thing you tell yourself you don’t want it then boom it just shows up out of nowhere. You tell yourself to push it away when and you try it holds on to your heart that much tighter. Love is what got me my first born child when I was eighteen years old. Love is what gave and gives me the strength to go on. To truly understand what it is to love another person I think you have to be willing to give up every dream you ever had so that person can realize their own. I believe that is what being a parent is. It is learning that there are so many more important things then to just say my dream is more important my hopes make yours look idiotic. That’s not true though, because when a little kid looks at you with big brown eyes that say mommy I want to be mail man or a doctor.  All you think is I’m going to do everything to make that kids dream come true. I’m going to fight for you to see that dream come true. To me that's what loving my son’s father got me. It got me an amazing wonderful person who calls me mommy. It gave me a chance to see not everything is about me. It gave me the hope that where I failed he would be able to thrive. He gave me the strength to say that tomorrow will be better even though today wasn’t that easy to get through. Love is what gave and gives me the courage to stand up and smile when I feel all else has failed. Being a mother is my heart, strength, courage, and dream.
