A Tribute to Mom...

We couldn’t begin to count the times she

tolerated our moods,

consoled our heartbreaks and disappointments,

endured our ups and downs.

She listened to words confused by tears,

and just simply understood

for no other reason than because she loved us.

The years hold precious memories,

but most of all they hold growth.

In a way, we grew up together.

Mom is our definition of a special person

Fantastic

Exceptional

Unique

Enduring

She filled our lives with happiness and sweet

feelings that we will carry in our hearts forever.
