56: Happy Mother's Day! | Jenn Terrell Photography

Uplift Blog Series: I wanted to help be a part of online positivity in the wake of the coronavirus and social distancing measures. I have had the honor of working with some amazing people who have such interesting and uplifting stories. ❤️I think now is the perfect time to share some of those. Education is also great to share during times like these so there will be educational posts occasionally. At first, I was going to put everything into one post but I think each person and topic deserves their own post and it will give me something to look forward to sharing with the world each day.

DAY 56

My mom is the biggest sweetheart. She raised me with love and acceptance. I knew that whatever I chose to do or be in life she would support that. She has just really always wanted to best for me and my siblings. Our dad died when we were pretty young and she suddenly had to raise three kids alone. She did the very best that she could. Things were not easy. We had to grow up pretty fast and she had to face a harsh new reality alone. I can’t imagine what she went through. Through all of it she made sure we knew she loved us. Now, she is so proud of each of us.

I think her blood pressure raises a bit each time I move to a new place. Ha ha. When I told her I was moving to South Korea in 2012, she was upset but she understood it would help me grow. And it really did. It was a life changing experience. I am so grateful for her love and support over the year. :)

She has let me photograph her a few times now. I will include my favorites below with some older photos of her too. :)
