A very special day

Today is a very special day for our family and I would like to take break form Liberia to honor an exceptional person who has always been my best friend. She is a person who I know I can trust and will love me no matter how bad a mess up. She is always willing to work and provide for us (with no expectation of a reward). She is an excellent counselor and always seems to know what to say. She cares, she listens and she is someone I greatly admire.
She is my doctor, psychoanalyst and cook … but most of all she is my MOTHER.
This all might sound like a cliché but I love my mom, and she means all that (and more) to me. I pray that someday I can find a wife as superb and beautiful as her.
I LOVE YOU MOM!

Dear lord,
I pray that you will care for my mom as she cares for us. I ask that you comfort her and guide her for many years to come. Please stand by her as my dad and I are away and I thank you for blessing me with a friend such as her.
In His name,
Amen

(For those of you who are wondering it is my mom’s birthday today.)
