Ma I think of you everyday.
I can see you with my spiritual eye standing as beautiful as ever with a slight smile on your face. Thank you for the unconditional love you gave us. I know you're at peace because you're with our Lord Yeshua. They can't hurt you anymore.
God will take care of those who meant you harm. The 23rd Psalm is your favorite. Thanks for teaching me to pray as a child... now I pray with you and Daddy in mind thankful to have had you as parents. I'll continue on the path that is set out for me until it leads me back to you. In Yeshua's mighty name... AMEN.
