Love is the sweet scent of the soft rain and the colours of the rainbow.  Love is the peach of the sunrise and the hug of the new morning.  Love is the warmth and the kindness of you and the goodness of your heart.  We love your love for us...and we love you, Mom.

Your ‘I love you’ in the quiet of the dawn are the most beautiful words I have ever heard.  They are a breath of fresh air to my tired soul and music to my sad heart. I love you too, Mom…and I miss you.  I miss your laughter and your smiling eyes. I miss your home-cooked meals and the lazy afternoons we spend together just watching TV.  I miss your happy and funny stories.  I long for your embrace and the touch of your hand on mine.

You have given me your heart and your life…thank you for your love and for everything you have done for me, Mom.  You are the best mother one could ever have…I would be lost without you.  I love you.

The lines on your forehead and the roughness on your palm remind me of the many journeys that you have travelled to help me get to where I am now.  Thank you for your love so great Mom…it has given me wings to fly beyond my horizon. 

I know that there have been so many times when I have failed you…countless times when I should have just loved you and not argued…times when I should have just given without question.  But no matter how much I have hurt you, you have always been there for me without fail…laughing with me, crying with me, praying with me, listening to me, loving me.  I am what I am now because you loved me.  I’m so blessed to have you as my mother.  Thank you for being in my life…I love you so much, Mom.
