Dear PaO,

You are the water of my soul. Your love quenches my ignorance and makes me
the woman that I am supposed to be. Because of you, life's purpose has revealed
itself.

I am destined to be a mother.

To love you is pain and joy. Not to have had you would have been death in

itself. You are the life in me. You have made me walk on eggshells without

shattering my world. You are my elixir of life. My antidote in this world that

slowly poisons me. There would be no life if not for you.

Today, a mother's love is overflowing because a son's love has drowned a

mother's piercing pride.

My love for you will have no end.

Remember your mother.

Mama
