Who influenced you the most growing up (Nov. 27)

I feel like this is going to be seen as taking the easy way out, but my biggest influence growing up was my mom. Yes, there's the obvious stuff. But honestly, I've always that that if I could be half as wonderful someday that I'd be ok. I've always looked up to her so much... her caring, her compassion and selflessness. The patience and unconditional love that she's always shown. I don't come anywhere close to measuring up and never will, but I've always had that standard to shoot for.
