This I know......As your child, I have received the most genuine and important message from you. I know you love me and have always loved me.

I know you have, to the best of your ability, with the work of your body, dedication of your mind, and strength of your soul, given me love, shelter and food, You have given me as much of your time as possible in this hectic, hurried world. You have given me fun and laughter. You have given me safety and protection. You have taught me about life's unpleasantries without scaring me too much. In my darkest moments, You appeared with comfort and understanding. I always knew you were on my side.

I know you did the best you could with the tools you were given. Because of this, the door to my heart is always open to you.

Thank you for the pleasures and treasures you have given me, both deserved and not. I know at times I troubled you, and for this I am sorry. There has never been anything you have done that has taken away my unconditional love for you. Always and now, in my eyes, heart, and soul, you are to me the most loving touch, the kindest thought, and the most perfest gift.

I have never known a time I did not love you..... I love you with every breath you take..... I will love you..... forever.

This page is a tribute to my mother and father who are no longer with me. Each day I see parts of them played out in my actions, opinions, and perceptions. I remember their kind love and guidance. I am thankful that I am their son.
