My identity rest solely and firmly on this: I am my MOTHER’S daughter.
Losing a MOTHER is a PAIN that cannot be described in words. It is virtually impossible to move on from the memory of losing the woman who sacrificed happiness in her own life, so that I could have a better one. A MOTHER’S LOVE is truly unconditional and irreplaceable. SHE was there when I took my first breath AND I was there when SHE took her last. My Mom and I are both comforted by Jesus' promise recorded at John 5:28, 29. We look forward to nothing less than everlasting life together on earth, with our loved ones.
My mother was very loving, caring, kind and generous. She ALWAYS followed Jesus' two greatest commandments Matthew 22:36-40.
To the world, she was a mother, but to OUR family she was the WORLD.
