Happy Mother's Day!

To my ever dearest Mom...Thank you for giving me life, for sacrificing so much for your family, for having the courage to come to a different country in order to give your family a better life, for never giving up and having a strong determination to complete your education, become a registered nurse and pursue your Master's Degree.

You've taught me so much...but most of all~ how to be a loving and kind woman.
I thank you for breathing life into me.

I hope you're enjoying your much deserved vacation in our home country.

Please know how much we miss you and hope you and Pop are safe and enjoying
every minute in Paradise.
Love you so very much for eternity, Sweet Mom...your 2nd born, Tim, Ian, Shioban and Angel Sinead xoxoxoxo

Joyeux Anniversaire, la Maman Douce !
