My Mom

I have been extremely stressed out about nursing school and I'm not even there yet. Money is a big issue. I will have to cut back to part time at my job. Since our 2 awful roommates moved out (partly because of me, mostly because they were just awful) I've tried to pick up some of the bills but I know it's made money extremely tight for Mike, and with this change it is going to make things even harder. He has got a second job going with the radio station he use to work for and that helps, we may even need to find another roommate. I'm trying to get my car paid off, which will make it livable. I did all the math today and devastatingly realized that i will still owe about $2000 at the end of the year. My mom has repeatedly told me that she will loan me any money i need but it's so much money to borrow. My brother's girlfriend decided to start school (without consulting anyone first) and is relying on my mom to pay her bills, so i feel like she is already doing more than she has to but still tells me i can borrow the $2000 or however much i need. My mom is the most selfless person i know and it breaks my heart to add to her load. My mom does everything for everybody. She is the best example of kindness i have ever seen. She likes doing nice things for people and i have learned so much from her. When we were growing up she never bought new shoes so my brother and I would always be able to have what we needed, she would just resole her old ones and keep wearing them. She took in my Aunt Ambie and her daughters when they needed it, she's taken care of my Uncle for the past several months, she always makes sure my brother and nephew have everything they need, and she never asks for anything in return. I walk through day to day life knowing that she is always here for me and will do anything for me and I hope she feels the same way about me, I'd do anything for her too! She is my best friend and I don't know what I would do without her!

Thanks for everything Mom! I love you!
