We wanted to submit an entry about our mother for mother of the year.
Let us just tell you some things about our mother, Denise. From our youth, our mother has been both our mother and father. We grew up in Oildale, near Bakersfield, and if you know of this place then you know isn’t the best. However, our mom taught us good morals and how to be the best that we could be. Growing up there also showed us what we didnt’ want to be in our own lives.
Our mom worked many jobs to support us and gave us everything we needed. As we grew older my mother married a man named Gary and once again became very happy with her life after a long struggle with our father.
For the last three years our mom has been doing the Atkins diet and has lost over100 pounds and has gained back so much self confidence.
We admit we didnt always make life easy for the two of them growing up. When they got married our family grew from the three to eight of us.That made four girls and two boys and two parents who couldn’t make the kids get along!
So 10 years later, after we all grew up and moved out of the house, they were able to be the "kids" again. They have purchased a Harley and are hard core Harley riders. My mother is finally enjoying the life that she has dreamed of and that she deserves to live!
We think that she has worked so hard in raising us and taking care of herself and her health losing over 100 pounds that she deserves to be pampered!
