Mother of the Year - UNDER 40 age winner

The best mama

Submitted by Maygan Barnett

I think my Mama is the BEST mama in the world! She doesn’t make me go to school. She homeschools me. I love being at home with her. She helps me with a problem in math. Even if it takes me all day, she will not get frustrated with me.

She is so kind to me, and the four others in our family. She provides for us, helps us in anyway she can. We would absolutely be lost without her. Sometimes, at night, I have bad dreams and I’ll go lay with mama. Even if she hadn’t had any sleep all night long, she will scoot over and make room for me.

My mama is legally blind. So she has to read with a magnifying glass. It is very hard on her and she has lived a tough life. I keep asking God, “Why did you do this to my Mama?” but I know that god made her legally blind for a purpose
.
Every morning we get up, and she reads the Bible to me. She helps me make the right choices in life. She asks so little of us, and I just want to do so much for her. I have said it before and I’ll say it again. We would be lost without her.

My Mama is kind, sweet, loving, caring, and no one can replace her. I think she deserves this more than ever.
