Letter to My Mother Mamma, The last 14 months have been an honor to care for you, just as you cared for me all those years. Thank you for loving, caring, and nurturing me. Thank you for always encouraging me to follow my dreams. I am the woman I am because of you. You taught me to be patient, kind, loving, and fun. I will never forget all those times you would say, “You don’t understand now, but you will later”. Now I understand Mommy. I understand why you punished me when I was being bad I understand why you said to follow my dreams and stay in school. I understand why you spoiled me, but taught me to work for everything I wanted. I understand why you taught me to be strong and independent. For all these things, am thankful for, Most of all, I thank God for blessing me with you as my mother. You held me when I took my first breaths of life, and I held you when you took your last. Although hard to accept right now, I will always cherish that moment…until I see you again. I love you, Mommy, Val
