A mother’s love is a special gift sent from God. It is a twenty four hour,seven days a week job of deep devotion to one’s children made up of sacrifice and pain but full of endless and unselfish love. I am everything I am because of my mother’s love and devotion to me for the past 23 years. She was my biggest supporter of all my undertakings. She went to all my dance recitals, sports games and concerts. She was my motivator throughout my education and raised me in the Catholic faith. My mother was totally devoted to my well-being and happiness. She helped me live my life to the fullest and gave me whatever I needed to succeed. My mother was a wonderful person. She was beautiful inside and out. She was a caring, courageous, humorous, loving mother, nurse and friend. I am a proud legacy of my mother. I am honored and so grateful that I had my mother’s love and I will continue to hold on to the love she has given me from now on until eternity.
