I used to say that if something happened to my mother, I wanted to die with her. That's because I loved her so much. I want to live so I can carry out the essence of what she has shown me: kindness and goodness.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My mother is a strong, wonderful woman. I could never be anything she didn't want me to be.
My mother, may her soul rest in peace, shaped my personality; thanks to her, I have acquired many values, good traits and skills.
Somewhere deep inside me was the will and determination not only to live, but to be a more present mother for my kids, instead of one who was emotionally unavailable because she was in so much pain, as my own mother was.
I was hoping I could become a success to give my mother and my father a better way of living.
Being a mom makes me feel whole and like I understand the meaning of life.
Like my mother, I was always saying, 'I'll fix my life one day.' It became clear when I saw her die without fulfilling her dreams that my time was now or maybe never.
I love my mother dearly, but it wouldn't be suitable for me to live with her all the time.
My mother helped me to be who I am: to have strength and not to let people run all over me and yet to be humble; to realise that all of this that I have today could be gone.
I'm just a regular mother who's trying to save lives and be the best human being I can be.
I wanted to have a personal life that I fully inhabited, not because I am such a great mom, but for me.
