"Nothing is more important to me than being the best parent I can possibly be."

I already figured this out about you long before you wrote it. You're doing an amazing job with your daughter, Randy. Just thought to tell you.

Great piece, by the way!

This was such a beautiful tribute to your mom, Randy! I agree, "selfless" doesn't come up enough on the list of traits for moms. I forget it myself. But then when I look back, it's absolutely bonkers to think about how much mom prioritized her family over herself. She still struggles with putting herself today.

"Not all mothers stand firmly in the corners of their children, putting the hopes and dreams of those children before their own wants and desires, preparing them for the future while also giving them a past worth remembering and holding on to.

Having one who does is a cheat code to life everyone should enjoy."

It really is a cheat code! Thank you for sharing this piece about your mother and making me feel so appreciative for mine as well.
