Brooke shares: “I have always had a love and appreciation for my mom. This past year it has grown exponentially due to becoming a mother myself. My mom has been there for me through it all and I do not know where I would be without her. From watching my daughter when my husband and I work to coming over just so I can complete a task without worry. She has been there for the best and hardest days always providing love and reassurance. I am truly blessed with the most kind and selfless mother. She is such a role model and I hope to one day be even half the woman she is. God truly blessed me with the best! I love you mom 💕”
