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.
