Mom ad dads last anniversary
My mother had a strength, a wisdom, and a capacity for love that I can only aspire to. She gave of herself so completely, even when she had little left to give, and in those moments, she made the greatest impact. She taught me, and everyone around her, that love is most powerful when it’s given freely, without expectation, especially when it’s hardest to do so.
My mom was the person who molded me, who guided me through life with her example. And though she’s no longer with us in body, her spirit remains, because her lessons, her values, and her love are things that cannot be taken away. They are her legacy, and it’s now our job to carry that legacy forward.
To stand as a witness to someone you honor and respect the most is not a burden; it’s a privilege. My mom was that person for me—the one I looked up to, the one who shaped who I am today. And while I know I can never fill her shoes, I promise to be her beacon. I will continue to love those who need love, to care for those who are not cared for, just as she did.
Mom, you will always be my inspiration. Thank you for the incredible gift of your teachings, a gift that can only be given by someone who truly understands the power of love. I may never live up to everything you were, but I will always aspire to be the best person I can be, following in the path you set for me.
Your memory will live on in all of us, in the love we share, in the kindness we show, and in the lives we touch. We love you, Mom, and we will carry you with us, always.
