Dear Ma,

Thanks for doing the best job you could for me.  You didn’t have a role model and you had to figure it out on your own. Looking back now, I understand how well you did.

I’m sure I never gave you credit for all you did well, and all you did right.  And I know I never gave you credit for figuring it all out day by day.

You did a wonderful job and I thank you from this earthly plane.

Love  from daughter #3…
