I may not be a very good friend, daughter, sister, or lover... but I am one HELL of a mommy so shove that in your bag of lucky charms.

My mother would have never gone to an athletic club.

Being a mother is an attitude, not a biological relation.

Help them who want to help themselves, don't ever pass up the chance to do right by others, never cross the line to cruelty, live each day with these three things in mind and sleep at night with angels on your side.

I owe a lot to my parents, especially by mother and my father.

My parents were both from extremely different backgrounds. My father's Italian, my mother was of Swedish descent. They're both first-generation Americans.
