My MOM has raised my brother (31) and I (29) pretty much by herself. Even though she was married to my dad for twenty years he abused her and used drugs ever since i can remeber. She re-married to my stepfather Ramon about 10 years ago. They have adopted 6 kids and have legal gaurdian ship of another little girl. So they are raising 7 kids from linn county. Ages range from there youngest boy 6 and the oldest girl is 12 right now. My mom is always taking care of the kids cause some have problems. She really dosent have much time for herself. Between running the kids to there doctor appts and school events and much more that goes on. She also helps me raise my 2 girls (her 2 grandaughters). I really think my MOM deserves to be pampered for one day. I would love to see her be appreciated in this way for all she has done for my brother and I and all she is doing for my 2 girls and the 7 she has taken in from the state. She is awsome and deserves to be nominated THANK YOU, BROOKE
