A personal message to my Mother:

I came across this poem.I didn't write it and don't know who did but it is so very true….

Mother

If I could give you anything the world could bestow. It wouldn't be all wrapped up and tied with a bow. It would be so simple, yet more than money could buy. No one could afford it, no matter how hard they tried. It would be that you could get back just a little of the love you've given away. You'd be the richest woman in the world and on that day, I'd be standing first in line. For I owe you more than all the rest. I didn't just have a Mother, God gave me his very best….. Tuesday morningaround 5:30 am God put his arms around you and took you home. No more pain, no more suffering, no more worries. But he didn't just take you, he took a part of my heart too.

I love you, Mom& I'll see you again someday.
