Mama

You have given your life for us children in every way and you have protected us from everyone and everything. In 1999 you and dad saved 3 children from the foster care system and gave us a loving home. Since then you have saved 5 more children from the foster care system and have given all of them a loving home. We all have given you hell, headaches, migraines, our colds;our bad mouths, our germs, and our nasty moods and you continue to love us. You have the most priceless heart of many and you love with everything you have. You are the mama of many:

All of us children love and adore you we are thankful for everything that you have done for us over the years. We have grown into amazing people and have learned a lot from both you and dad. My life for starters has been rocky but you have always been there even when I don't want you to be and that means a lot to me. I almost lost my life and both you and dad were there the whole entire time. You have given your life for all of us children and have done nothing but rescue children and love them with everything you have.
