This is a really hard question, actually. I learned a lot from my aunt... more life lessons from her. But I think I've learned to be who I am from my mom. She didn't "teach" me, but I learned. Every day I see myself starting to become more and more like her. Most people say "Oh man, I'm becoming my mother!" as if it's a bad thing. My mom is an
excellent role model and I get much joy knowing that I am becoming more like her. Things were rough... really rough... between us when I was a teenager. I love her so much though. I miss her more than anything. She's still in Washington. I moved down to AZ a couple months ago and saying goodbye to her was the hardest thing about moving. Okay, I have to stop, my eyes are starting to tear up. Anyway, sorry to ramble on and on. Basically, I would say I learned most from my mom.
