I would have to say that a lot of the credit would have to go to my step-dad and my mom. Each day I realize how much more I am becoming like my mom, and I notice that many of the life lessons my step-dad taught me, are now coming out when I encounter other individuals who are in the same position I was in. Who was your potter when you were the clay?

My children, hands down.
My little girl, now 10, changed my life. She arrived when I was fresh back from Iraq and having a difficult time with it. She was perfect and insistent and needed me to teach her everything she knows... and wouldn't take no for an answer.
My middle son, now 8, has forced me to model the better man I want him to be. I want nothing less for him than to find his own way and make me proud.
My youngest, now 3, is autistic and very nearly died when he was two months old. He is an absolute joy to be around, and wakes up happy to see me every day, even when I am feeling low. He has taught me patience and how to feel joy and live in the moment.

My maternal Grandmother and Grandfather. They raised me from the age of 10 after my mom passed. My father was pretty much non-existent. They taught me so much about life and hard work. I'm forever grateful.

And why would you give her the credit? Was there something spectacular she did in your life?
