“I raised my three teens with love, perseverance, tenacity, sweat, tears, prayers, lighting candles, and the list could go on.”

“If I had to do it all again, I would still want my same daughter and two sons; through laughter, tears, prayers, and blessings.”

“I love God, Jesus Christ, my three children, mother, father, brother, sisters, family in general, my pets, my students, and true friends.”

“On this Mother's Day and every day before and after, I thank you God for the precious gift of my three children. I love them unconditionally.”

“Making the ungrateful grateful will bring tears to your eyes, tears of blood bleeding from the heart.”

“Raising teenage sons and daughters is a long and tiresome journey. With God's help the final outcome will be worthwhile.”

“The most important thing in my life is to be the best mother that I can be to my daughter and two sons; full of blessings and love. I can guide them, pray for their goals to be achieved, and follow a good path; but ultimately it will be up to them to live their own lives and make their own choices knowing there are rewards and consequences.”
