This is who we call “Big Momma”, a term that has nothing to do with size. Big Mommas are essential members of a community. Big Mommas provide love, wisdom, advice, a plate of food when you don’t have one, discipline, and won’t hesitate to call you out on some BS, all in the name of love. Big Mommas take care of not just those in her immediate family, but takes care of neighbors, and anyone she encounters that needs of her, even strangers. Big Mommas are angels here on earth. God bless this lady, and all the Big Mommas out there 🙏🏽❤️

Patricia's story is so much like my own Grandmother's. My Grandmother had 13 children and my Mother was the oldest. Her husband passed away right after her youngest one was born and she never remarried. She was a kindergarten teacher and raised all her children on her own. We are from the Navajo Nation and at times she worked three jobs. She always taught our culture to the community even bringing children on field trips to our house and showing them how she would weave Navajo rugs and carted wool the traditional way. She passed away in 2012. She even raised my two sisters and I when my Mother passed away in 1974. These women are strong women and I commend them,! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY PATRICIA ! She has such a lovely family and Patricia deserves so much. You can tell how much her children and community loves her so much. That is so wonderful that they gave so much food for her and her community. May she have Many Blessings throughout her lifetime. 🙏
