Mom: Zete da Silva Mendes

For the next few days I'll be introducing some members of my beautiful family. Today I want to introduce you to this amazing human being, the strongest woman with the biggest heart I know: my mom.

-Brazil, 1997

Her life growing up was full of difficulties and deprivation. Her adulthood wasn't easy either, but she never gave up on life. She is an example of faith, courage, love, and service, and I am so grateful for having her as my mom. She is my best friend! She knows me, understands me, loves me, and accepts me exactly the way I am.

I love her deeply.
