Mom, it’s impossible to put into words what you mean to me, and how I feel standing here today. There are so many memories flooding my mind—each one a piece of the love you showed me, the guidance you gave, and the strength you carried so quietly. You taught me so much without ever needing to say a word. It was in the way you lived, the way you cared for others, and how you always seemed to know what was needed—whether it was a quiet moment, a steady hand, or just the comfort of knowing someone was there. You were always there.
I think back to the nights you stayed up late, helping me with school projects or talking me through life’s endless questions, always with patience, no matter how tired you were. I still don’t know where you found the energy—between working, taking care of everything at home, and still finding time for those around you. You never asked for anything in return, never sought recognition, but the love you gave was felt by everyone who knew you.
You had this remarkable ability to make people feel seen, understood, and important. I know your friends would agree—you were the one everyone could count on. Whether it was the small acts of kindness or the bigger sacrifices you made without thinking twice, you did it all with a grace that I can only hope to emulate.
But more than anything, it’s the unconditional love you gave that will stay with me. No matter how old I was, no matter what was happening in life, I always knew that your love was something I could depend on. You had this way of making me believe in myself, even when I doubted everything. You were my biggest supporter and my greatest comfort. And though you’re not physically here now, I can still feel that love—I carry it with me every day, in everything I do.
Mom, I miss you more than I can say. But I’ll carry your lessons with me—the importance of kindness, the beauty in quiet strength, and the value of being there for others. You’ve left a mark on everyone you touched, and that’s something that will never fade. You were more than just a mother; you were my guide, my confidante, and my home.
Thank you for everything. For every sacrifice, for every laugh, for every piece of advice—whether I followed it or not. Thank you for showing me what it means to live with love and purpose. I love you, Mom. I always will.
