The Essence of Essence..

I'm taking this time out to recognize the most loving, supportive, gorgeous person I have ever had (and will ever have) in my life: my mother! Gloria Lorena Lowe.. there is NO ONE else on this Earth like my mother! There was a time where I wanted my life to be OVER (I've attempted suicide twice), but I chose to remain here because I knew that if I served no other purpose, it was to be here with her. Her love saved my life.. constantly. It's because of my mom that I'm where I am in life. I made it through school with 2 degrees and I'm now on the road to being a successful preschool educator because my mom was the only one who supported me 100% and saw me all the way through. I wanted to give up so many times because everybody else was making me feel like I was crazy for staying at home and finishing up. I almost quit and moved out, just to prove to everyone else that I could be an "adult" and join the work force if I wanted to. Now, as my mom told me back...
