And while my mom didn't seem like a traditional mom when my dad was away with the military (she poured herself into her work as a schoolteacher and my brother and I shared her with her many other children, her students) she held herself together for me and my brother the best way she knew how. She often had to do things that were out of her comfort zone (I had medical problems and she was terrified of doctors as well as driving on bridges but she handled a drive over bridges to get me to doctors appointments, and I can never know what it feels like to sit there helpless when your daughter is having an operation...) and her example has taught me that sometimes when you know you have to do something, to get through it, you can find a way. this is very sweet :D I miss my YiaYia (grandmother) dearly, her unconditional love was a cosntant in my life and I thought she was superwoman.
