she once quit a job by dumping her boss's ashtray all over his desk. another time when she had a boss laugh at the idea of her taking time off for a vacation, she told him to shove it, and she never went back. one evening while at dinner with a bunch of stuffy business people my dad worked with, some woman who had been flirting with him all night asked, "so what are you guys going to do tonight?" my mom answered, "we're going to go home and fuck."
she is silly, she is smart, she is gutsy, she is creative and talented, she is strong, she is powerful, she is the cutest lady i have ever seen, she is a wonderful friend, and an even better mom. she's straight forward, she's caring, she's full of fire, and she is inspiring.
she is the queen of not taking any shit from anyone, and i admire her deeply for the very difficult decisions she's made in her life. i would have never been able to do what she has done.
my mom is going back to school in january, and i couldn't be more proud of any individual.
ever.
