Thank you Mom for being my guide & protector.
I realize now that to be a mother, you protect even when the child may have no memory of it. We are born & hopefully cared for, loved & protected. We yet have our wings.
This is a study in patience: care until adulthood & beyond with hope that investment will yield a thoughtful, contentious, contributing person.
I want you to know, Mom, you did a stellar, amazing, wonderful job.
Never mind what anyone else says. I am your daughter & I have personal experience with your care.
Your love is the ultimate kind of love, that cannot be replaced. Let me learn from you so I may give my child what he needs to grow & grow well.
Thank you Mom.
