Mom, without you, there would be no me.

Your love, your attention, your guidance have made me who I am.

Without you, I would be lost, wandering, without direction or purpose.

You showed me the way to serve, to accomplish, to persevere.

Without you, there would be an empty space I could never fill, no matter how I tried.

Instead, because of you, I have joy, contentment, satisfaction, and peace.

You endowed me with love and compassion.

You are my source of power for inspiration and motivation.

I know I will never be alone on my saddest day.

Your love is my light and comfort.

Thank you, mom.
