Today marks the 76th birthday of my ever dearest Mother. To whom I cherish all the wonderful beautiful memories of being her truly loving and caring daughter that I am.
My Mother's nurturing delicate hands have care diligently for me, my sister and four brothers from infancy to adulthood, until we are able to leave the home that my loving Father and her have provided for us. A home that is filled with love, abundant hearty healthy food, and sermon. Yes, every day sermon because my Mother is a very religious woman. I could laugh at it now but before it was like attending a preacher's mass. But that's okay. Mother is always like that. She never stop from talking, advising, telling you what to do every now and then. It's like listening to a long playing record and you don't know when to stop. Mother is just like that very knowledgeable when it comes to Holy Scriptures. That all demons and evil villains will vanish instantly. Yeah just like that. She probably got the magic wand from my grandmother.
My Mother is a home maker, the best of all mothers in the world. She is a good cook, house keeper, with very creative hands. She is my dressmaker, my adviser, and a teacher. She is also our nurse and doctor. There's no prescription required. That's how smart she is. She would rather have her children with beautiful, clean clothes even if she will just wear her old clothes. For her its her own children first who needs the tender loving care that the basic needs are always provided. What can I say, my parents are great provider. She and my Father worked so hard to sent us to school, graduate and finished the required diploma, were done schooling and still they were part of our lives. Their effective guidance never stop.
My Mother is my greatest strength in my education and spiritual needs. Just like her we both persevere. She is my guidance and most of all the light in our home that illuminates the goodness of our heart's desire.
My Mother the glorious one who's simplicity and modesty makes me feel to be economically viable in this moment of thinking what is best, better and what is the most important. Gracious, beautiful and wise...Mother you are the most loved, you a very extra ordinary special woman and you deserved the very best. You are worth remembering every day and for always.
May you have the happiness, good health and all God's love has to offer
H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y!
May you have more birthdays to come.
Love,
E. Verna Turner
