Dearest Mom



I seen you the other night in my dreams and noticed how beautiful you looked. I know you're well.



I want to thank you for taking your time in the kitchen and cooking those wonderful meals my family always enjoyed.



Thank you for allowing me to practice my massage techniques on your legs while in school. I learned I'm pretty good at it.



Thank you for teaching me the many gifts life has to offer, and always with a smile.



Mom, I need to ask you to always watch for your kids, we all miss you so. I love you so very much...
