A love note to my mama.

Mama, you are the muse, the inspiration, the love, the self-correction, the encouragement, the joy, the strength, and the happiness that flows through me each and everyday. Without you, there would be no me. There would be no aspiration, there would be no success, and there would be no dedication. Not just because you simply gave birth to me, but in a spiritual sense. These things would be non-existent because you would not have been there to place them within me. 

You are a mother in every sense of the word. When you speak to me, please know that you are heard. You created the person that stands before you. YOUR grace, YOUR beauty, YOUR intelligence, YOUR close attention to detail, YOUR caring heart, YOUR sensitivity, YOUR BOSS mentality,  YOUR dedication, courage, strength, deepness, love, inspiring words, health, and fitness is staring right back at you. You shape me. Everyday I realize how much like you I am. It brings me great satisfaction because I just wish to be half the woman that you are.

Mama, I promise that each and every day I will uphold you and the values you taught me. 

Mama, I love you.
