Thoughts of You, Mother

"Optional Message Here"

My earliest memories of you, Mother, are made up of very special feelings ...

... feelings of warmth, safety and contentment

and I know it's because you were always there taking good care of me.

I remember how you encouraged me

because you always knew what I was doing

even when I didn't.

I remember times you comforted me over a disappointment or a sadness

and how happy you would be for me when things were going well.

I remember how you listened patiently to my ever-forming thoughts and ideas.

But most of all, I remember you

. . . wise, helpful and caring . . .

always believing in me and loving me.

I'll always be glad for these memories, Mother,

and I love you for each and every one.

Your friendship and faith in me have helped me find my way in life.

I know that if I've turned out even a little bit like you hoped I would,

then all you've done for me and all the love that guided you

will have been worthwhile.
