Looking through some old photographs I
came to one of my mother. She was sixteen
years old so much beauty to behold. No make-up
did she wear, her skin so flawless and oh what
curly hair. I held that photo for quite sometime
I looked at it so hard that my eyes hurt.
So different she looked, always a beautiful
woman shes been it was like looking at me
when I was ten. So much a tom-boy she has
always been. She has aged so gracefully I
must say, for she is just as beautiful today.
When she was twenty two she broke her back
working to make a better life for us. But not
once did I hear her fuss. After our father died
tragically her own pain she had to set aside her
Young life had been turned upside down, what
else would she have to go through? no matter
what she never failed to say "I Love You" I
said then I would never stray far. So many
memories came rushing back.
Today I'm able to give something back for
I care for her daily. Although she is unable
to walk we sit and just talk and talk. I love
her so very much and wanted to say in a
very special way. That I'll never forget her
special touch I love you mom and I love
you so very much.
