My Mom My Hero

lGrowing up wasn't easy for my mom. She had me, when she was seventeen years-old. I had a stroke, when I was thirteen years old, which I had Cerebral Palsy. The stroke was only on my left side, so I couldn't use my left leg and left arm, and I was born early. The doctor had told my mother that I wouldn't live pass my twenties. Even those she was young, she believe in GOD, and she he would take of me and her. My mom would come to the hospital and sit by my bed watch me, as I went threw operations on the left side. As, I was so sick in the hospital my dad was in the army and he didn't want to be bother with me or my sister, so my mother divorce him. He had never came to the hospital to see me, and it hurt my mother a lot. But, my mother came going, because she knew she had to. My mom was with me in and out of the hospital, with all of my operations  on my left side. As, I grew up my mom showed me how to dress myself  and how to dance and how to be on my own. Caring for two kids, and one with Cerebral Palsy wasn't easy for mom, she had to find work when she could, but when she did find work it wasn't much. When, me and my sister were in our teens my mother decided to take my little brother, when he was five days old. My mom was so excited about him coming to live with us. Down threw the years growing up my mom saw that me and my sister had brother had what ever we need. She would do without things, so we could have it. At, Christmas there were toys and other things, my mom would get for. She would be at every program that we were in at school. When, I finished high school, my mother was there cheering me on. She has seen her son finish  high school and college. And, she has raised her kids up in the church and for to love GOD. Reason why I say my mom is my hero, because, most people would have put a child with Cerebral Palsy in a home. But, my mom decided to raise me, a long with sister and brother. After, we got older, my got two years of college and got a great job work for cancer research, at the college Pittsburgh University. She worked for a couple of years until she got hurt on the job. My is hero for another reason, because after being divorce so long my mom remarried my dad. She wanted us to get to know him, because want us to hate me. It was so hard, when he moved in, we didn't know anything about him that much and he di didn't know anything about us. But, my mom wanted us to try to get a long with him. It is still a little hard for me to get over what he missed in my life, but mom is happy to we have talked. Down the years my mom, as she is getting older her health is not good, she has a pacemaker, bad knees and other things that are going on with her life, but she keeps going. My is preacher in a church, and people love to hear preach. My mom will give you the shirt off her back, she would not let someone go without eating. She would give her last for some one and she would open her house to someone. My mom is a very special lady, there is know one like my mom. I think I am a better person, because of my mom, because I took after her. I will say there is know like mom the hero in life.
