.... a part-time RN and a full-time mother just amazes me. Whenever she has an obstacle to overcome she considers the consequences and make sure she is fully accountable for the results, whether good or bad. Finally, her caring ways makes my mother who she is. She is always kind. For example, the time I really wrecked her Saturday night when I told her she was working when she really wasn't.

Sosa has only played in 1,2 .....
