Our Mother
Our mother is a woman like no other. She gave us life, nurtured us, taught us, dressed us, fought for us, held us, shouted at us, kissed us, but most importantly loved us unconditionally.
There are not enough words we can say to describe just how important our mother was to us, and what a powerful influence she continues to be…
Mother, We Love You.
