A few days left to still enter my Mother's Day Contest

Today's entry comes from Erin. . .

My mom deserves to win this contest, as she is the absolute best. When I was 12, and my brother was 14, she lost her best friend and we lost our dad, suddenly due to a heart attack. Our family was being torn apart. She managed to keep us together and raise us to be strong despite losing our dad. I can't imagine how hard it must have been to have to suddenly raise 2 teenagers by herself, but she pulled through. She now is a wonderful Grandmother to 5 grandkids and is still an incredibly strong woman. Her faith in God drives her each and every day. She is amazing and I am blessed to have her as my mom.
