She gave me all the very best things in life.

Faith – She taught me that the universe didn’t revolve around me, but that I was part of a much bigger story, God’s story! She taught me He has a plan for my life and that I was made for Him.

Hope – She taught me the power of perseverance and to never give up. If there is something you want to do or be, do the hard work and don’t quit. She taught me that God will give me strength to keep on the best path.

Love – No matter what I did, she loved me unconditionally. She was always there and sacrificed so that I could experience a wonderful childhood.

We laugh together. We cry together. I call her confidant. I call her friend. I call her MOM. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! I Love You.
