But, what can we say for all they’ve done for us? What finite words can sum up our infinite gratitude and love?

My mother has been a tremendous support and help for me. A true blessing through illness’ ups and downs and “life in general.” There’s a lot I could say about her, but these words, though brief, are probably the most heart-felt I could ever say:

Thank you, Mom! I love you and I’m so very happy that God gave you to me!

Blessings for the day,

Maureen
