A Tribute to Mom

You never gave up on us even though at times you could have. You always loved us no matter what happened. We learned so much from you even though we never showed it. You gave us courage to face our fears even we ran away. We made mistakes even though you told us what was going to happen. We never had the words to express our feelings. But on this day, the only words we can say is Thank You!!

Isaiah 41:10

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.
