The Inside Life of My Mother

I learn things about my mother everyday. Some are new, some are old. Some are good, some are bad. The time that sticks out most in my head took place at my grandparent's house. My mom has 4 siblings one older sister, one younger sister, and two younger brothers. My uncle Larry and my mom were joking around with each other and saying that they were going to fight. I didn't think much was going to happen. They are over 35 and about to have a throw down. My mom and my uncle were wrestling on the floor and she pinned him down. Being a girl and being probably 70 pounds less than him, I was impressed. Later, we found out she cracked one of his ribs. I learned that day that my mom doesn't give up and she is driven. I already knew she was strong, but this gave a whole new level of understanding how her childhood went. It made me respect her more.
