Rare Gem Quotes

“It is always a good idea to be good and kind to yourself. Do whatever it takes to treat yourself with love and gentleness. You are a rare gem.”

“A Special Mother

That is who you are
An Angel that once lived with us
Who now left for the Heavens
A loving parent
Such a rare gem
A true blessing
And a precious being
Truly exceptional
To us, you were like the sunshine
That made our days shine bright
You were like the flower
That gave us hope to blossom each day
Just like the rain
That came and washed away our pain
Much like an eagle
That soared against strong winds for our sake
Like a shield that ensures we are safe
Death never took you away
Because in our lives
You are somehow alive
Through the beautiful memories
We gratefully hold in our hearts
Indeed, you are our special Mother”
