This is somewhat of a tribute to my mom, Amanda Upton. I had typed this whole page on my feelings for my mom, but it just felt to formal. I love my mom with all my heart, and that's what i want these comments to feel like, heartfelt. I'm not going to go into how my mother raised me all by herself. She trained me to be the man that I am today, and till this very day, she still continues to groom me into a better person. I've been in Texas for two weeks now, but there has not been one day when she has not called me at least a FEW times a day. Not only does she comfort me when i'm lonely, but she still manages to give me great advice worth following. My mom is not one to TELL me what to do. She treats me like a friend, encouraging me to make my own decisions, even though, I know she is probably thinking that's not going to work out. But she doesn't do that. She guides me the best way she can, and lets me see how things work out. Sometimes they do, but most time they don't. But, she can't live my life for me. But, to know I can always turn back to her and give her my big childish look, like "it didn't work out ma", and not get put down, builds me up so much. I'm getting stronger everyday. I perk up as soon as I hear her voice. I like to even hear her voice on her answering machine. I will never be able to fully explain how much she does for me at such a long distance. I don't need to I suppose. I will let my appreciation show through my actions. I will always reach for the highest ring I can attain.
I Love You Ma
Your Son
