For you, our MOM

Dearest Mumsie Wumsie

You have been FANTASTIC! I want to commend you on your nursing skills.  Dad reckons it's his hard head and army background that got him through the last 6 weeks, I beg to differ.  It was you! There is no way that he would have got on his feet so fast if you were not there to put socks and shoes on them.  I know you did not look forward to taking the lead in his recovery but your attentiveness, patience and your beautiful oh so dutiful heart is what made the difference.  Thank you for taking care of our Father, the endless stairs you climbed getting him all he needs.  I can only write you a blog post and sing your praises, but know that it comes from my heart.  You put all our minds at ease and you did it all with a smile.  Dad has NO idea what he has in you, I wish he could see that and treat you accordingly.

Mom, I would just like to thank and commend you for the amazing job you have done in taking care of our father in this time where he really needed all the help and assistance that only you could provide, seeing as us children are all on our own different endeavours in life and pursuing what this world and God has for us.  I know and understand that initially you must have been petrified of the daunting task that lay ahead, fully comprehending that the task involved not only physical, human day to day, but also emotional support.  You took this task by the horns and endured, WELL DONE!!! I speak for all of us when I express my utmost gratitude for the way and attitude with which you did this, as with many other things, with a kind and loving heart, and a smile that penetrates all obstructions.  Thanks again ma, and may you to be BLESSED! 


Lots and lots of LOVE! Jus

When God set the world in place,
when He hung the stars up in space,
when He made the land and the sea,
then He made you and me.
He sat back and saw all that was good,
He saw things to be as they should.
Just one more blessing He had in store;
He created a mother, but whatever for?
He knew a mother would have a special place
to shine His reflection on her child's face.
A mother will walk the extra mile
just to see her children smile.
She'll work her fingers to the bone
to make a house into a home.
A mother is there to teach and guide,
a mother will stay right by your side.
She'll be there through your pain and strife,
she'll stay constant in your life.
A mother will lend a helping hand
until you have the strength to stand.

Mom

There are not enough words for me to express how much I appreciate everything that you did for dad during his time of recovery. All the trips to Welkom you made, all the rearranging you did at home to make it comfortable for him, all the meals you made for him, all the time you spent with him and of course just being there for him. Thank You! I can defiantly tell you that you are one special person to have done that! The Lord has Blessed you with such a loving and caring heart. May we all be blessed with your giving heart!

Love you lots
Claire
