I decided to dedicate my article this week to an amazing person in my life that I am grateful to call my Mommom. She is my grandmother on my dad's side of the family. My mom and dad were married until I was around two years old. That was when I realized that she was a very special Mommom; she was neutral to through the whole divorce and was even supportive with my mom's side of a majority of the decisions she made for my sister and me. Her main concern was always for the sake of her grandchildren. I just wanted to say "Thank you."

Thank you for keeping the peace for the sake of your family.
Even back when you were going through a divorce with my dad's father, you kept the peace for the sake of your sons. Even after you and Poppop were both married off to other people you still stayed civilized in interest to keep complete peace.You still even loved my mother as if she was still your daughter-in-law and still stayed close friends with my grandma on my mom's side of the family until this day and I am almost nineteen years old now.
Thank you for having the heart to accept people into your life as family even if they are not blood.
I am beyond grateful that you have excepted my older sister as your granddaughter as if she was your own blood. My sister and I have different fathers but that does not change a single way that you think of her. Also, thank you for excepting my younger brother as your grandson, same thing with my sister, she does not even think twice about the way that she thinks about and loves them both unconditionally.
Thank you for always being there for me.
Even when I am having the worst possible day I know that I can look forward to you being able to cheer me up. There has been only very rare and serious occasions I have ever seen you unhappy and infuriated. The only possible way I have seen you that way was when someone has messed with your family. You are very protective of your family and that is something I admire greatly about you.
Thank you for being strong.
After the death of your grandson, my cousin, you kept such composure, you stayed so strong for your family even though I know how hard it was for you to see him go. It was hard on a lot of the family but you staying strong was what helped keep us make it through together. I hope that one day I am able to be as strong and wise as you are. I do not know how much I admire your personality and the sparkle in your eye even on the gloomiest day. You light up my life, and for that, I am so grateful.
I love you, Mommom.
