Giving Sue

My mother is the most unselfish, giving person in the world. She has raised 6 kids and always thinks of her self last. She has always had to be thrifty. She made our clothes and grew a garden to take care of the family. But she was always willing to sacrafice any little bit she had to help someone else. She is the type of person that would regift something that she loved just to put a smile on someone else's face. My great uncle once said "http://www.1800flowers.com/I don't think Sue has ever had a good peach. She always eats the one off the ground and cuts the bad parts out just so it will not go to waste." She makes baby blankets to donate to the hospital, for the mothers who are in need. As well as much other charity work. She never sits down to rest. She never turns down a job to help someone out. Her kindness does get taken advantage of and I think she deserves to be honored for all that she does. She would rather do for others than herself and I would LOVE for her to win this vacation so she could relax for once. She deserves it more than anyone I know.
