Aimee, May you know that I am always with you and that I always love you. Love, Mama

I want so much for you to know
how much I love you.

I am critical of you sometimes,
but it’s only because I have experienced
so much more of life, and I can often
see that the path you are taking
today, may not take you where
you want to be tomorrow.

I know, too, that you are still young,
and you have to experience life for
yourself.

If I can….I just want to spare you some of
the pain I had to go through on my
own path in life….

When the words don’t come with all I
want to say, I can still say this:
I love you tremendously. I would do
anything for you. And I promise I will
try to be more patient and understanding
of you, and I pray that you will do the
same for me.

And do me a favor sometimes….
tell me you love me, okay?
Having you grow up so quickly
is hard on me.

Awie, I’m so proud of you! Love, Mama

My son is a wonderful blessing, a treasure from above. He’s laughter, warmth and special charm; He’s thoughtfulness and love

My son brings a special joy that comes from deep inside. And as he grows to manhood, he fills your heart with pride.

With every year that passes, he’s more special than before. Through every stage, through every age, I love him even more.

No words can describe the warm memories, the pride and gratitude, too. That comes from having a son to love and to cherish…just like you!

 A sister's a sister forever,

A bond that diminishes never,

A friend who is kindly and caring,

A sibling God chooses for sharing.

Few ties as deep and profound

And with so much affection abound

Though some thoughts are seldom expressed

Love endures and survives every test.

Of the constants that rest in the heart,

A sister's a primary part.

She'll always be there when you need her-

You listen, you value, you heed her.

As growth, independence you ponder,

Your feelings grow deeper and fonder;

And life tells you one thing that is true:

A sister's a large part of you.
