I wish I were like Mama...

If there's one thing I don't like about myself, it's probably the fact that I try to control my emotions as much as I possibly can.  When in an argument, I try to maintain my cool, keep myself from answering back even when I know I'm right, and worse even if I try to hold back my tears they seem to have a mind of its own, and fall like rain drops.
 

Sometimes I wish I was more like my mother.  Mama is a tough cookie.  She's not afraid to speak her mind, and would fight for what she thinks is right.  If she knew what I'm going through right now, I am sure she would fight back for me.  She would never allow any one to hurt or offend us.

I may be a crybaby, but I know for a fact that I would never let anyone hurt my kids or the people I love.  I can be a tough one like Mama if I need to be.
