Growing up is not easy．Sometimes all that is need is someone to rely on．For many years, she was Mum．My mother was a career woman and has her own problems to take care, but when I needed her, she was always there．Her strength came from anywhere．I don’t quite know, somewhere very deep．She was so strong that she would never break down, even while I went to her with all my little-boy problems and shout at her．Her strength made me stronger and gave to me courage to try things other thought were impossible．A helping hand is always stronger enough to lift you up．
