Aunt Jill in Knoxville: To me she is a celebrity mom because of what type of mom she is. She has many children, 7 or 8, I lose count some days. Most of them have some kind of special needs. The other thing that I see when I look at her is how she has adopted all of her children except one. I am proud to know her. She has inspired me on raising my son with special needs. She also has inspired Jonathan and I about one day maybe adopting a child and give that child a home where they can be loved. If there is any celebrity status that she fits into she is in it. How about her being an 'A Lister' Celebrity? You are in my book, Jill.
Another mom that I look to is actually my sister, Brianna. What makes her a celebrity in my book is how she loves her children. She protects them like a lioness would her young. I am also so proud of her because of how she has taken her life from nothing and made it into something. She has grown into being a great mom, friend, and inspiration. She is a person that should be respected by many. Love you, Brianna.
Many people don't know my past and where I came from. Today I share a little. The next mom I would like to give celebrity status to is my mom. When I was young my mom was on welfare and at one point lived in her car because of domestic violence. But through all of what happen, she worked her way off of welfare, got college behind her, and made life better for the ones that she loved the most, her children. She raised us to believe that everyone is created equal and that the only thing that makes us different is not the color of skin but by our works. She encouraged us to be hard workers and to respect people. Thank you, Mom for giving me values that have made me a better person.
Another mom that has been part of my life recently is my mother-in-law, Debra. When I look at this celebrity mom I see someone that tries to balance her life for the moment. She made a comment to me in this past year that she lives by the moment. Whatever happens in her day she takes it a runs with it and if something changes she quickly changes with it. I also see a mom hurting with the loss of her only daughter. But she doesn't stop. She is doing things to keep going and to reach other people. Recently when I look at her, she has taken an interest in her family and you can tell that she is living every moment like it could be the last. She treasures all of her grandchildren. They are her jewels. A big hand clap to Debra for her love for life and for being a grandmother that is loved the most in the world.
I am going to pick just one more mom. There are many mothers out there that I can talk about but that could take me days and I wouldn't be able to type it all. This next celebrity mom that I want to make notice to is my friend, Josie. We haven't spent any time together since I moved from Arizona. But the reason why I picked her is because she is a great role model for her children and for the children around her. I am proud to call her friend. Recently I read on her Facebook about how many years it’s been since she found the Lord. I have watched her over the years, which have been many and she still believes in what she believes in when I met her. She stands firm on the word of God and what God wants for her life. She has made God every part of who she is from how she dresses, how she speaks, and how she acts every day. She is raising her children on the same beliefs and is a light to other children and families for who God is. She is a role model to me and how I should be and how a woman of God should be. I am blessed that I can call her friend. Thank you, Josie, for being the perfect role model of how a woman of God should be. You never know how much you have impacted my life and others that have come in contact with you.
These are just a few of moms that I wanted to give celebrity status to. There are many more around me. If you are a mom that wants to better yourself, you are a great role model for your children and want to better the world around you then you are a celebrity in my life and I am so glad that I know you. This weekend while we celebrate moms let us also not forget the moms that have passed away and children growing up without them. For their children, we don't have to be a mother figure to these children but we can be a role model to them or a mentor to lead the children into what God wants them to be. Rhonda, you are that mother. In the time that you spent on this earth you have impact so many lives. I am amazed at all of the things that you had accomplished. When you set your mind to something you were going to do it. There is so much that your little ones don't even know about you but I know that your husband will let them know and make sure that they will never forget you. Love you. Have a bless Mother's Day everyone.
