My mum was the kind of woman that picked up hitchhikers and gave them money to buy food and onward travel train tickets. My mum was the kind of woman that got herself excluded from school when she was a child, for preventing a teacher from beating a small boy, who wet himself from fear of that beating. My mum was the kind of woman who'd stay aware through the night to take care of someone ill. My mum was the kind of woman who with without essentials so others could experience luxury. My mum was the kind of woman who would fly 5000 miles to help one of her children. To me, Mum is a synonym of; integrity, love, advocacy, ethics, morals, values, principles, honesty, knowledge, strength and protection to name but a few. I miss and love you so much.
