My mom struggled her whole life, With the hurt and pain during her childhood that included loosing her father when she was only three, to the beatings she suffered from a step father. The constant bullying she indured during her school years and all the life struggles after that which included a husband who walked all over her. My mother was a special women and had a beautiful  and wonderful soul. She was funny and witty and courageous. She suffered numerous health problems that effected her everyday life. She was on medication, Thirty plus pills a day. She deserved more then this life gave her, she suffered and suffered and still had the biggest heart. I would trade places with her in an instance to give her the life she deserved, the love she deserved. My best friend, now i get to carry on without the person who meant the most to me.
