She is fiercely independent. Bold, beautiful, and brave. The type of person that does good deeds without any promise of praise. Who would rather die penniless than rich. A person whos inner beauty radiates out, but whom is too modest to notice. She is a teacher, counselor, secret keeper, peace maker, singer, friend, guide, heart mender, care giver, comedian, air head. She knows just what say to make the glass seem half full again. She is tough. She is the most non judgmental person I know. With an unfailing faith that never wavers. She is a mother. My mother. Mama Kath has become a widespread nickname for her. Perhaps, because it comes with no effort to be comfortable around her. She has lit candles in the lives of many people. It comes to no surprise that when she recently found out she has breast cancer, she smiled and joked about the hideous moles on her head if hair loss struck. She is an upper in the pool of downers. She is fearless.
