I don’t think I would have been where I am in life if it wasn’t for your sacrifices. A widow who had to step up at a young age to care for her 2 orphan girls. You are my rock and how ever much I annoy or worry you, nothing in this world can replace you in my life. Us being apart now scars me because I know you worry for all of your children and your missing out on our journeys. We are all apart trying to find our own paths in life. You are my rock mama and your definitely the father figure in my life. We don’t Normally express how much love and respect we have for you as a woman but your my Michelle Obama. My ophrawini. To me, no woman is as strong and giving as you. I am blessed to carry your face around. Your beautiful eyes and lips. A kind heart you passed on onto us and most importantly, you brought us closer to God. “Lord protect that woman because you know she’s my life. There’s no gift good enough than her life”. I always pray for more life for us so that I get to make all your dreams come true. You have invested so much in us your children and especially me because you had to raise me in the most difficult and painful moments of your life. Just at one year old, my father was rested.You stepped up mama and I know you will always be my backbone. There no words I would say to show you how much I appreciate your existence. But all I can promise is I will not let you down. Stay alive and you will be able to enjoy the fruits of your sacrifices. It breaks my heart when I can’t help you. But be strong mama. In a few years from now. You won’t have to worry no more. I got you love.

Whenever I look at this photo. I can see how much sorrow you have gone through and still experiencing mama. It really breaks my heart. I know when you smile. That beautiful smile mama. I want to keep it on your face. But How now when we are all apart and I still have no money to solve your problems ? Well, only I can pray is that the Almighty father hears our cry. May he open those doors to more opportunities for us. I do want to give you the world.

I need you mama. My prayer is you will stay present in my life. You need to make it for my graduation as you held my hand on my first day at school. I need to have your hand in everything I do mama. At my wedding mama. In that room when your grandchildren are coming to life. I can’t even imagine facing life without you in it. Ohh mama. I do miss you.

You always told me that A woman who has lost her husband is called a widow.

A man who has lost his wife is called a widower.

A child who has lost his or her parents is called an orphan.

But a parent who has lost a child...

The sorrow is so great that there’s not even a word that can be used to describe the person.

No one can criticize a mother who made a decision in order to survive that time and continue living. I did get to learn that am fortunate because even when u lost your baby that came before me, u got courage to have me,But yet u still ended up losing the love of your life after I was born. Sometimes I may not say it but I used to feel like a curse to you. But no child is a curse to a mother. And you have proven that to me. I love you so much mama. Hope I get to see you soon.

Happy Mother’s Day. Mama
