My mom, my hero! She was a single mom with three kiddos. I was the oldest and I had two younger brothers. My mom married when she was 20. She met a handsome man who swept her off of her feet. She had me a year later. When I was about 3 months old, she found out my dad had a weakness for other women and alcohol. It was a rough next several years for her. My dad would try to change many times. My mom is a very forgiving person. She and my dad separated several times up until…

You would think I’d be used to it by now after living in this part of Texas since I was 9 years old. All that to say; Happy Spring!…
