  1. Gina, There is nothing wrong with wanting to be this woman. It takes a very Godly woman to even try to be this woman. But your efforts are noticed and when you think you aren't on top of your game, you give so much inspiration to those who are watching you. I have told you before, I hope to be half the mother you are. I love you, D
