What a wonderful tribute to your mother, @macoolette. Very happy, for you, that you could write it. Sadly, many have not had the relationship with their parents, from which such a post could be written.

"Without her words of encouragement, struggles to see me through, challenges and business ideas, I wouldn't be where and what I am today."

It certainly conveys a lot about who are and how you got there.

Out of curiosity, if not too personal, where are you in the birth order of her children?
