My mother was a very important person to me .She
was a very
hard working woman . We lived in a little town in Brazil . She had
twenty one children . She was very dedicated to all the children
. She married when she was seventeen years old . She showed me by
example
how
to treat others with kindness and respect for all . My mother sacrificed
for her family . She educated us and bought clothes, food, shoes,
and more
. She always listened to her children and gave good advice .My mother
didn't have a job, but she took care of the whole family and worked
inside the house. After I left the house, my mother worried about
me.
Now, my mother is watching me from heaven .
