Our mother’s love endured all of life’s obstacles: she lifted us when we were down, she gave us strength when we were weak, and loved us unconditionally. We are grateful for her sacrifices and unyielding love. All these values were instilled in us, and we are grateful for the forever-bond we developed between us as a result. We will forever love you Mom.
