My mother’s name is Marianne Hanson and she is the best!
She is the most caring, loving, honest person I know. All my life she has been there for me and my two siblings. We all have went through many challenges in life, but my mom has been a trooper with all of us kids.
At an early age my mother divorced my father and was a single mother. There was never a moment where she put anything in front of us, if she only had $50 dollars for the week, one of us kids would get something before her.
Each one of us kids have all been through medical problems — she’s gone through so much emotionally and mentally. Two years ago I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. She was there for me so much during my hospital stay, she helped out my husband with my kids, spent hours with me at my side and missed work and sleep.
My mother is my best friend and always will be. I couldn’t have asked for a better mother because there is no one out there that would even compare to her. My mom, Marianne Hanson, is my rock.
