Dear Mom, I know that you are with our Father in heaven and ur spirit is still with me in my heart. But I know that you are no longer hurting and suffering . The bond that a child develops with his mother can never be severed. I grew as an organism inside of you for nine months. You carried me and substained me, sharing your sustenance with me through your umbilical cord. When you are born the cord is severed, but it is never severed in our hearts. That bond last forever. As i grew up I became the man I am today and may have come to forget that woman who nurtured and loved me. But remember this i will never forget you and never ever stop loving you. And you will be greatley missed by me and your granddaughters. I LOVE YOU MAMA ALWAYS AND FOREVER.........................
