My Mother
Thank you for being my mother, my comforter and friend. It's been such a blessing to have you as my mother. I love you more than I could have ever told you.
I'll miss all of our late night talks and our little private jokes. You brought so much joy into my life, I can understand why so
many people loved you. Rut, I'm thankful th at I had the privilege to call you My Mother.
Happy Mother's Day
I love you, Matha
