My mother elizabeth faye small was the best mom I could ask for. Even though we had our ups and downs we still loved each other. Its hard for me to let go cause I have a daughter who reminds me of her. My mother was free and happy I can't remember ever seeing her sad or down about something but I can remember her getting mad at me like one time I was made cause I couldn't get my way and I called my mom a word that I wish I could take back but anyways she slap me so hard that my ear rang for three days . Now that I am grown I remember days and years. I do wish she was still alive so I could do better by her but I tell u what I won't make that mistake of calling her names anymore. I guess we all have to learn one time or another but I miss her smile her cooking her at home since my mother has passed away our family kinda did too. I guess u would call mom the peace maker. I don't hardly ever see one brother and I got another I have not seen in two years cause its like when she died so did we. I wish things could be different about me and my brothers I know if mom was still her she would be mad at the fact we don't hardly have anything to do with oneanother but its life as I see it. We will all be a family again one day and we will share our love just like mom shared hers. If it was not for my mom I would not be the person who I am today. I watched and learned from my mom. I carry much respect for her even though I never seem to showed it back then but I do and I know that my family does to. I always said I would follow in her foot steps to be the loving,caring,respectful,disipline,mother,family maker like her. My mother had lots of things she liked to do for fun like working on cars and learning about cars she was always working on something and when I mean something I mean cars,family,home,yard,helping us for school.
