How I know her: Carolyn is my mother, and we are each other’s biggest fans.
How she’s changed me: Carolyn taught me the most important lesson I’ve learned so far in life: how to forgive.
She’s taught me the power of an apology and the importance of contrition.
Her work ethic is unparalleled. Watching she and my dad work without complaint was a driving force in any goal I’ve achieved.
She has taught me to care little about opinions others had of me, if they didn’t improve my passion.
And at 65, she gives a glimpse into my beautiful future, since she looks better now than she ever has.
Her responses to a list of questions, each with a three-word answer max.
