Like My Mother Does...

I cannot even picture a world without my mama in it. She is so strong and is the most selfless person I know! Everything I need, she gets...whenever I suggest something I like or want, she goes and gets without me even asking, or truly needing it...she does these things because she wants to make me happy! She has supported me in every way possible. From the time I was little, she has never missed anything I've done. She always watched me play t-ball, volleyball, cheer from the age of 5 years old to 23 years old, wiped my tears away, and she supports me now by coming to help me decorate my classroom and watching me coach my high school squad! She is beautiful on the inside and out...and she's even funny! She's a huge sports fan and is the loudest person in the room during a Mavs game or Rangers game! I can always go to her for advice! She is a prayer warrior, especially when it comes to her family! I feel truly blessed to have such a wonderful mom, who constantly puts everyone ahead of herself, and doesn't expect anything in return! She has a huge heart and I'm so thankful for her! I love you, Mama Strick!!

This song by Lauren Alaina is exactly how I feel about my mom! She says it perfectly!

People always say
I have a laugh like my mother does
Guess that makes sense
She taught me how to smile when things get rough
I've got her spirit, she's always got my back
When I look at her I think I want to be just like that

When I love I give it all I've got
Like my mother does
When I'm scared I bow my head and pray
Like my mother does

She's a rock, she is grace
She's an angel, she's my heart and soul
She does it all

When I love, I give it all I've got
Like my mother does
When I'm scared I bow my head and pray
Like my mother does

When I'm weak and unpretty
I know I'm beautiful and strong
Because I see myself
Like my mother does

Hoping to be a great mom just like my own,
Hope (Future Mrs. Saenz)
