...AS WE KNOW HER!<br />
IYA NI IYA MI!<br />
I just want to thank everyone for coming<br />
here to celebrate my mum.<br />
I remember the first time I saw my mum<br />
cry. She was in a completely new<br />
country and it was one of my earliest<br />
memories I have of my mum. She was<br />
holding my hand and pushing a buggy,<br />
the wind was cold and the weather was<br />
stormy with snow. My mum was pushing<br />
against the wind because she was<br />
dropping me off at school and on her<br />
way to the GP with my sibling in the<br />
buggy, tears ran down her face, that was<br />
when I knew I had great admiration for<br />
my mum. This was a woman that had<br />
left everything she knew to come to<br />
somewhere new to start over again and<br />
for my better tomorrow and that<br />
deserves great admiration.<br />
Another memory of my mum is how<br />
prayerful she was. As we slept as<br />
children, I could hear her praying<br />
around 3 AM and 4 AM, she would come<br />
into my bedroom to anoint us as we<br />
slept, this was such a frequent<br />
occurrence that I remember always<br />
saying amen even as I slept. Whenever I<br />
found it difficult to sleep the sound of<br />
my mum's voice praying, gave me such a<br />
good feeling that sleep came easily.<br />
MY DEAREST MOTHER!<br />
My mum is a praying woman, hardworking<br />
and oh so creative and<br />
talented. She was never an inside the<br />
box thinker but always an outside the<br />
box thinker. I Admire her for her<br />
beauty as well, my dad is a lucky man.<br />
I thank God because her beautiful<br />
genetic’s were passed onto me, I am<br />
grateful for my mum and I am glad to<br />
have her as my mum. I truly appreciate<br />
all she does and has done for me,<br />
always encouraging me, always praying<br />
for me, always being there and<br />
knowing when things aren’t great<br />
almost like a sixth sense but I know it’s<br />
the Holy Spirit working in her. I am not<br />
a perfect child but I am glad my mum is<br />
my mum and I wanted to take this<br />
opportunity to say thank you to my<br />
mum. For being a best friend and<br />
holding me close, providing for us and<br />
for others to.<br />
My mum is a prayer warrior, a friend,<br />
an entrepreneur, a pastor and a<br />
woman of essence. And I want to thank<br />
her for her dedication towards us her<br />
children, both biological and spiritual<br />
and I want to thank God for bringing<br />
her ahead of us and seeing something<br />
wonderful in her so that we can all<br />
learn and take from. I am grateful<br />
towards you mum and love you dearly.<br />
Thank you And God Bless. Enjoy<br />
I thank you for being there for me. You<br />
were always there no matter the<br />
situation. Whenever there was a<br />
problem you would find a way to<br />
resolve it. You have always been by my<br />
side. Even at the times you were sick<br />
you still tried to get the strength to take<br />
care of me. You always found a way to<br />
encourage me when I am down. I just<br />
want to thank you for being there for<br />
me even with all the trouble I have<br />
caused. I wish you a very happy<br />
birthday and you will live to see many<br />
more generations in Jesus Mighty<br />
Name. Amen<br />

HEART OF A MOTHER IS<br />
