Oh mama
I love you
You were my best friend
You saved my life
I'm glad I was chosen to care for you. You'd drive me crazy and i you,but at the same time you said you loved me and my reply was I love you more. I will never let you go. I see you everywhere. My plan was a little different than God's plan. You fought hard. You were so strong. You looked so peaceful and happy. That gives me some comfort. Good night mom sleep well.
