This week’s Hero nomination comes from Cate…
Hi Kix!
I'd like to nominate my mother because she truly is the most amazing person out there as far as I'm concerned.
About six years ago, my mother was permanently injured at work, and she lost most of the usage in her right arm. It's a nerve issue, so if someone even touches her, it hurts her a lot.
But in spite of all this, she is a remarkable woman who handles everything! She has six kids, and my two baby brothers were born after her injury. She also home schools all of us that are school-age, and I just don’t know how she does it all!
Plus, I celebrated my birthday recently and even though she was having a bad pain day, she still took me downtown where we shopped and had a great time for hours, and I knew she was hurting but she never complained!
My mom is honestly the strongest, most amazing person I've ever met, and I'm so honored to be her daughter! I absolutely adore her, and I hope you can see why.
Thank you so much!
Cate
