Oh mom, words will never do any level of justice to how much I love you. The care and compassion you showed me my entire life, is a special love that not too many people ever get the privilege to receive. You are the most beautiful person I have ever had the honor to know, inside and out. You taught me so many important things, and some you weren't ever even aware of. To me, you are the definition of strength, you fought many hardships, but noone would have known if you didn't tell them yourself, you had a magical way of never backing down from anything in your way, and to top it all off no matter the circumstances you would do it with a smile. Your spirit carries on in me, Emily, Brian , and all the grandkids. I hope you can get the peace that you have more than earned and finally can get the rest you so desperately needed. I would never be the man I am today without you, and I can't thankyou enough for everything you have ever done for me. I love you so, so much mom. ❤️
