I call her Mom or Momma or Mother at times. Some, her own first name or a name special only to them. Whatever the name, she helped give me life and I THANK YOU, dear God.
She protected me from harm, the real kind and the harm that came in my dreams. She held me and loved me and even scolded me and I THANK YOU, dear God.
She taught me important things when I was little, and tried to teach me more as I got older... It was more difficult for her and for me then. Often I ignored her and for those times FORGIVE ME, dear God.
She was there when I needed her, and when I foolishly thought I didn't need her. She cared in ways that remind me of Your great care, dear God, and I THANK YOU.
She loved me, dear God, and my Father, and others, and taught me to do the same. THANK YOU dear God, for my Mother, bless her with my love. Bless her with Your love, dear God, now and in heaven.
And a special THANK YOU!!! Dear Mother, Momma, Mom of mine. For now and for ALWAYS, I LOVE YOU. AMEN
