"What has kept meh goin' durrin' the worst times uh mah life? That'd probably have ta be mah momma. Ah mean, mah birth momma. Not that there's anythin' wrong with mah newer mother, she's certainly proven herself ah worthy spouse, but Ah jus' haven'na known her as long."
"But Ah've always looked up ta mah birth momma, especially as ah kid, which is also when ah've been through some uh the worst stuff in mah life, what with not knowin' how ta defend mahself yet. But back then Ah could always trust mah momma would come ta mah rescue eventually, in one fashion or another. She was mah best friend at the time, but she was also mah guardian angel, as any good momma aut ta beh."
"Even now, when Ah'm more independent, she still stands as ah shining beacon fir meh. Mah momma's been ah role-model fir meh, so even if Ah no longer expect her ta come chargin' in on ah white horse most uh the time, just knowin' Ah have ah woman like her as ah parent kin help give meh courage."
