My dearest Mommy,

There is always something to be grateful for, not only because God is good in our lives but because He's given me and my siblings a mother who love us dearly..

 Mom, I love you for all the times you picked me up when I was down

even at those times when I was down to nothing, you still believed in me. Not because I believed in my own capabilities.. its all because I believed in God who was and who is..always in control of our situation.. Faith of knowing that God is still in control of our lives despite of. 

For all those times when you traded your warm smile for my frown

For all the times you brushed my hair when I was young or needed something for yourself

and put us first instead.

For all the dreams that we have shared,

the tears and laughter in between..

I love you mom with all my heart..

Reminiscing the good memories instead of the bad.

What "Mother" Means "Mother" is such a simple word,
But to me there’s meaning seldom heard.
For everything I am today,
My mother’s love showed me the way. I’ll love my mother all my days,
For enriching my life in so many ways.
She set me straight and then set me free,
And that’s what the word "mother" means to me.   Thanks for being a wonderful mom,--I’m thankful for all the things you do
I’m glad my mom is extra special as you!  Nobody's equal to you, Mom.
With you in our lives, we are blessed!
I love you so, and I want you to know
I think you're the very best!         For all the things we didn't say,
About how we felt along the way--
For the love you gave and the work you've done for all three of us
Here's appreciation from your admiring children. You cared for us as a little tot,
When all we did was cry a lot,
And as we grew your work did too--
  we ran and fell and got black and blue.   we grew some more and it didn't stop;
Now you had to become a cop,
To worry about mistakes we'd make;
You kept us in line for our own sake.   we got older, and the story repeated;
You were always there whenever we needed.
You guided us and wished us the best,
  we became wiser and knew we were blessed. So, for all the times I didn't say,
The love I felt for you each day,
Mom, read this so you can always see and be reminded of
  how much you really mean to us. we appreciate you, thanks for everything!    We love you so much, mommy!!!May God bless you with many, many more birthdays to come, better health each year and may He also bless you with your good heart's desires! We love you so much and again, Happy Birthday!!!

  love lots, Alan, Roy, Ellen, Josh and Jamie
