If I could change one thing:

If I could change one thing, my choice would be the loss of my mom.

Some may not know, but I lost my mom a little over 3 years ago. She had a long battle with leukemia, I would take that away. I don't want to be without my mom as a teen mom. There's so much I don't know, that she would guide me on.

She would hold my hand and tell me, "em, it's gonna be okay." My mom would hug me tight and tell me I'm always gonna be her baby. She used to count down the days until Christmas and Halloween, even the last day of school. She loved going to the beach, not just on clear, warm and sunny days; it would be a tropical storm and she would go. As long as the car worked, she was at the beach.

She was dedicated to the work she did. Never giving up and always willing to solve a problem. She is remembered by her silly "go get em" attitude, but also by her down to earth side.

She left me while I was pregnant with my son, she has two grandkids now that she won't ever meet. They remind me of her every day and it's hard to see.

But every day, I wake up and try to be the best she would want me to be. Knowing that her legacy is carried on by me, I try to be the same amazing woman she was.

I love her still, even though she's gone. Her memory is still with me, even though it's been so long.
