I sincerely hope and pray this letter finds you in good health and that you have accomplished exactly what you set out to do in life. I want you to know that you are such an inspiration to not only me, but in your community and vast people around the world. I admire your strength, courage and commitment to me and our family. I know it wasn't easy, but you made cooking, cleaning, working and raising a family look so simple. Maybe its because you prepared accordingly, created a schedule and understood your priorities. Maybe its because I cannot recollect a time where you actually complained.
You are an amazing woman and a incredible mother. I wish some of these young mothers who constantly complain could hear the stories of sacrifices made and what it takes to raise a family. Influential women like yourself, Grandma Jones, Grandma Tatum, Aunt Dot, Aunt Ruby, Aunt Ethel, Aunt Judy and my Aunt Bar just to name a few. You all and many others have exemplified what a mother should represent. I also appreciate all the nosy neighbors who would tell my mother when I was doing wrong. I didn't like you all very much back then, but now I understand what it means when they say "it takes a village to raise a child."
I'm grateful and blessed to have such an extraordinary person as my mother. You have been such an instrumental part of my life momma. You are selfless and someone who I adore very much. Thank you for always being there, thank you for listening, encouraging and motivating me to be the best person I can be. I am extremely proud to be your son and even prouder of the man that you helped me become.
Happy Mother's Day
I love you
Sincere!
