My mom is 82 years old now. and has a hard time getting around. Most of the days she spends at home sitting in her chair. But does she complain about it? No way! That’s my mom. Our family helps her out a lot to try and keep her in her home as long as possible. She has never complained about anything.

There are 6 children in our family (2 boys, 4 girls). She worked full time all the time we were growing up because we needed the double income just to keep us all fed and clothed, but again she never complained. She worked as the head secretary for “The American Legion” office with The State of Kansas for 40 years and retired at that time. After retirement my dad became ill and she had to do a lot to take care of him until he passed away around 8 years ago. Also, she has had several strokes which has taken a toll on her body. She may not remember everyone she knew in the past, but she does remember all of her children and grandchildren. We all love her a lot and we think she is well deserving to win this contest.

Thank you for your kind consideration and I hope my mom wins.
