Mother's Giving Heart

Mother's Day cards are a little difficult for me to make without thinking of my dear mother. I'm sure most of us feel the same way as I do that our mother is the best -- well, that's how I feel: my mother was the best there was. She showed unconditional love to all her seven children. She was generous, always ready to give help to so many people even though she had very little, herself. My siblings and I found all this out after her memorial when one by one, people would come to us to tell us how much my mother's contributions and help meant to them: how she gave yearly to a summer program at church, but never wanted her name mentioned and how she gave regularly to other children who might need extra cash, not to mention her relatives back in the Philippines. Many more people with similar stories of my mother came to us... and you could really see the gratefulness in their faces. I get teary eyed when I think about how my mother had helped so many people and never expected anything in return. I truly admire her and I wish I could have told her how proud I am of her.
