When I start to think about a person that I loved and admired the most, the first one that comes to my mind and my heart is my mother.  My mum was a very beautiful woman especially when she was young. I still remember the days when she used to come to pick me up from the school, all my friends kept saying to me, “Your mum is so beautiful and she is well dressed.” My mum was tall and she had very wide, black eyes; she had straight black hair and her face was round.

My mum was loved by all people and anyone who knew her said that she is so kind and helpful. My mum used to support me and my sister during our lives and she trusted in our abilities; she is the only one that really loved me from the depths of her heart and she always wished the best for me. When I would feel disappointed or have the negative energy she used to say to me, “You do not have to be very smart to achieve your dreams, all you have to do is work very hard and you will see what will happen in return.”

My mum wasn't just lovely and helpful but she was also very smart. She was a math teacher and she knew how to deal with difficult problems and numbers. She used to take care of my studies to help me a lot to get a high marks in all subjects.

But the thing that I like most about my mum is that she was so caring about others and she used to put me and my sister first in everything in her life; she did not care about herself at all. I cannot forget my last visit to my home county when my mum was still alive and I cannot forget how much she cared about me as she used to take care of my son all day long to let me have some rest because she knew how exhausted I was from taking care of him.

For me, not having my mum in my life breaks my heart every day as I miss her and miss her support in my life. I wish every day to go back in time and see her again to tell her how much I love her.
