The beauty of a role model

Florence Patricia Ellis.

My role model and the woman that change my life and my ambitions.

My Girl Scout leader, my boys and girls club leader, my best friend, and most of all, a mother.

Mama Patt saved me from myself, and she was there when no one else was.  Her family is as my own and her life has inspired mine.  She has provided me with opportunities to meet so many people and step up into leadership positions and most of all, she has given me everything I’ve needed to allow myself to grow.  I have found myself, established myself, and it is all thanks to Patt Ellis.  Her heart gives me compassions, her determination gives me ambition.  Her faith led me to spirituality.  I don’t know how I will ever repay her, but I know I WILL go far in this life and I WILL succeed at all that I try to.  I intend on changing lives, or at the least allowing God to change lives through me.  I have had every opportunity I’ve ever needed to do so, and Mama Patt has given them all to me and inspired me to go forth. 

Thank you Mama Patt.  Thank you for saving me from myself, thank you for caring about me, thank you for loving me, thank you for taking interest in me, thank you for sticking with me, thank you for bringing me this far.  I will become all that I am capable of because of you.  Praise God for you.

I love you.

The beauty of a role model, especially mine, is the closet my mind will come to the beauty of God.  Her bright blue eyes, her giving heart, how I yearn to give the way she does.  I am a volunteer, and that is because of mama Patt.  How beautiful to see a selfless soul reach out, through the power of God, and save a child in whatever way they’re capable.  I will never comprehend, even as I take on these traits myself.  The only explanation I can give is love, outstanding love that pours out of your heart, most often found in those with a story they allow to change them.

I’d like to change something from my previous post, everyone has a story, something that could change them, if they allow it.

You are beautiful, in your own unique way.
