I dont think i woukd of made it thru even my teen years if it werent for you being there for me .i could talk to you about everything and anything. You always supported me .stood by me. Always showed me nothing but love. I saw you struggle theu the years as a single mother but you always found a way to provide for your boys. I admired everything about you.
