I think the best compliment I have gotton was that I looked like my mother. Now my Mother will say that she isn't pretty and that I look more like her sister then her. I agree with my mom, she isn't a startlimg beauty. She by herself might not make you stop and stare, only when we were little and we followed her through the store did anyone stop, stare, and say anything. She is a beautiful in her own special God given way. But beauty is one, in the eye of the beholder. Secondly, beauty isn't always manifested in physical looks, but also in actions, thoughts and words. My Mom no matter how many times we(I) tested her patience and made her wish to tear her hair out loved us and taught us to be good and to try our best. She always knows when we need, and want, a hug, or some incouraging words. Since as long as I can remember she has being trying to lose weight and keep it down. Trust me, the way she cooks, that can be very hard.This has taught us to keep going even when it is tough and also the value of giving up something we like. She has always tried to show us a good example and help us with what ever, even if she rather be reading a book or working on something of her own. The amount of times I have had to ask her questions that I should know the answers to are countless. All in all my mom is extremely beautiful. She is beautiful physically with her wonderful smile and her understanding eyes. She is even more beautiful inside with her large heart, and her intelligent mind. So I am very happy to be told I look like her, I just hope that it goes beyond just physical looks.
