MY MOTHER INSPIRES ME.

As a young naive girl, I always assumed it was her JOB to take good care of me and she had no choice.
Growing up, I discovered that she had a choice, everyone has a choice! And she chose me.
She chose to work tirelessly everyday.
She chose to not dump all of us and escape from this very harsh Country called Nigeria.

Not all mothers are like this. My eyes have seen and my ears have heard, stories that make me ultimately wonder what breed of woman my mother is.

She is strong.
She is firm but somehow soft.
She has a wicked sense of humour! The things she says and imagines are beyond me.
She is kind.
She forgives people. Some of this people think they are taking her for a ride, but I know She is not anyone's pushover.
She is industrious. My mother has done so many businesses in this life. She keeps pushing and breaking new grounds.
She is smart. Her use of language (both English and Yoruba) is Impeccable.
She is full of wisdom, divine wisdom.
She encourages me.
She supports me with words of advise, money and Lots of Prayers.

House of Rheevo will not exist without her.
She was the one who gave me that first push!
She was the one who allowed me to SPREAD MY TINY WINGS AND ATTEMPT TO FLY.
She kept saying "don't forget Law oh! Education Comes first".
She's the kind of mother I can chat with about anything!( Men Problems, Money Issues, Friends, Marriage and sensitive Topics like Abortion!)
She works out!
She attempts to eat healthy!
She still has loads of dreams and aspirations even though she has retired from active service.

She is neat!
She is the reason I can multitask, She will somehow expect me to finish the four chores she gave me in FIVE MINUTES!

She is a queen!
She keeps her home.
She loves God.

She inspires Me. All day everyday!
