FOREVER

FOREVER is how long I'm going to love you, Mom.
It's a word to let you know how long I'll care.
Past every sunrise. Each moment of my life.
In whatever tomorrow holds, you will be held by me.
Warm within my heart. Sweetest of all my memories.

FOREVER is a way of saying how long I'll be thanking you for being such a beautiful inspiration to me;
for being so strong, for being so wise...
...for being the one woman I would have chosen so gratefully as my mother...
...if the choice had been up to me.

FOREVER is for always. Through whatever comes along.

Whenever my heart is overflowing with gratitude, admiration, and love...

I always know that it's because I've been thinking of you, Mom!

--> Laurel Atherton, I love you Mom
