  • Mum, you are my Hero. I love you so much, and I think about you with a great longing to have been a better son for you. Mum, you have taught me in life and after life, how to become a better man. This I feel deep in my heart, as I reflect on how you have shown me by example, a better way of being. Thank you Mum for all your sacrifices, and guidance through out our time on earth together. Mum, you have given so much to so many people, and I know how much they all love you, And you have always kept your heart open for us all, without judgment or resentment. You lived your life on your terms, and I am so proud of you Mum. Neither diseases nor hardships stood in your way. Your sheer will to live and love life to the fullest, is my original source of inspiration. You always stood back up and laughter was your reply. You are the strongest, most loving and caring Mother I could ever be blessed with. I am so proud of you Mum. I will honor you and share your guidance and wisdom with my children, your Grandchildren, that you so dearly love, and we all so dearly Love You. Your Grandchildren miss you, as do I and Shiho.
