Happy Mothers' Day, Mom! 2012

I have said all of this before, but it is worth repeating. I have always been close to my Mom. She has been a constant source of encouragement to me through the years, and I thank God for her influence.

She is a tiny lady with a big heart. She has taught me the value of hard work and determination. She is also a woman of unshakable faith. I have witnessed her cling tenaciously to her faith through many difficult trials.

I am blessed with a special mom. She has always been there for me. Mom, I thank God for you, and I thank you for all your love and support.
