MY MOTHER GLEYAN ACEVEDO<br />

Gleyan Acevedo<br />

My mother is the queen <strong>of</strong> my life.<br />

She is a strong, loving mother that struggled with five children from our own houses to<br />

shelters, from the shelters to other family member’s homes.<br />

It was not what I chose, but it was the life I lived, the life I grew up with.<br />

My mother worked and fought her whole life to provide us with food on the table and some<br />

nice warm clothes.<br />

One day came. There was a medical emergency and I thought I lost her. I made one<br />

promise to myself, and it was to help my mother out in everything and anyway that I could<br />

because <strong>of</strong> her sudden stroke.<br />

I hated every second <strong>of</strong> it, but that made me believe that as long as my queen, my<br />

inspiration is alive by me, I will prove to her that I care. Just like she protected and cared<br />

for all <strong>of</strong> us when we were younger. She is the wind <strong>of</strong> my success.<br />

She is a one <strong>of</strong> a kind.<br />

Mom, you are a blessing from God that you are still here. I love every second now that I<br />

spend with you. So someday, on the day you are not here, I’ll be able to say, I have no<br />

regrets. You did it for me and I did it for you.<br />

I love you Mom!<br />
