Thank You, Mom

You've been a part of my life since I was born. You've loved me inspite of myself, you've cared for me and about the things that matter to me. You've been strong and have taught me how to be strong.

You taught me the value of hardwork and I've learnt to be passionate about the things I love from you. I inherited your looks, your lovely cocoa skin, your dazzling smile, your creative streak. I've learnt how to be a woman - a mother, a sister, a friend... all by your example.

We've laughed together, we've cried together, sure we butted heads a few times but never without love... You've been an unfailing support no matter what I went through.. Quietly encouraging, always praying... You have been a blessing to our family, a favourite of all our friends... We your children call you blessed..[Prov. 31.28]

Thank you for all the times you've been there, listening, praying, protecting, correcting, teaching... For all those wonderful attires you made for us, for the delicious meals that only mommy can make [yes..no one cooks like my mama!], for all our chats, for being the glue that holds us together. If I can only be half the woman you are...Though the oceans separate us, your love reaches across...

I love you mom, I miss you mom... Happy Mother's Day... Ki e pe fun wa, Ki nkan ayo yin s'oju yin. Amin
