Dearest Mom, Happy birthday.  You are to special to me.  I love you dearly.   You have taught me so much.   It is a joy caring for you during these quiet days of your life.   Here is a poem to honor you today:

She Is My Mother
By Alon Calinao Dy

She is a woman
Who feeds, cuddles, and loves me.
The one who gave birth to me.
I'm her greatest fan.

She is my mother
Who loves my father,
Does anything for her children
And takes care of her grandchildren.

She is my best friend too,
Comforts me when I feel blue.
She is my best mother,
I couldn't replace her with another.

She is a sweet and loving parent
Who cooks my favorite foods,
Does household chores
And looks after my grandparents.

She does multi-tasks
And gives me anything I ask
Because for her,
I'm her wealth and power.

When I was a child,
She taught me how to fear God.
Sometimes, I found it awkward
But she would understand.

She is my mother,
A wonderful mother
To her sons and daughter.
I am very proud of her.

Dearest Mom, you are a wonderful, superdalious mother.  Your kindness, patients, sweetness and generosity were good examples for me.  You taught me how to cook, bake, sew, knit, pom-pom (can't remember how to do it), clean, study, read, etc.  Most of all you taught me faithfulness and loyalty.  As the only son among three daughters, you made me feel very comfortable doing things many thought that were only feminine.  And because of you love you helped me grow into a man.   You are wonderful.  Today you are not able to hug me, but I can still feel your hugs.  You are not able to run and walk about, but I can still feel your strength.   Although you cannot get out of bed,  your beautify smiles are so reviving.  You are so dignified.   Even though your memory is fading and your thought processes are delayed, you still respond with the words "Yes thank you" or "Thank you very much" etc.   Annick and I, our children and grandchildren, think the world of you.   I mean the whole big wide world.  Love you mom.  You're the best.

Your only son forever,

Barrington

The best mother in the world celebrating her birthday this week. No other woman is alive like her. She has taught us all well and only strive everyday in my life to be like her. Happy Birthday Mom. She was always said to the the twin of Queen Elizabeth because she looks so much like her! She is our Queen!.

Today marks another significant milestone in your life. The blessing to have lived for 86 years is awesome! However, more importantly in my eyes and so many others whose lives you've touched, you have lived a purposeful, meaningful life. Your tenacity and perseverance I have witnessed through out my lifetime, and from you I have learned how to face many difficulties and become the strong woman I am. The love overflowing from you exudes in your smile and your gentle touch, even now as you adjust to this phase of immobility in your life. Still smiling, still gracious, still courteous to those who care for you. I cannot forget the unwavering support and telephone calls morning, noon and night that you have given to me during many challenging times. And oh, yes your prayers. You give, give and give, never expecting anything in return. Thank you for being a perfect role model to me. You are my mother and I love you dearly.

Dearest Mom, you are so special to me.  Your tender touch, thoughtful comments, tasty foods, gentle smiles, warm hugs and much more, make you the greatest mom of all.

Happy Birthday Titty. Love you dearly

My grandmother

We traveled together from I was three.  You taught me how to be responsible. Being the oldest grand you was there for me and my children we will be there for you.

Happy Birthday to the best grandmother a grandson could ask for. God has blessed our family with your nurturing through the years, and now we are the beneficiaries of a rich legacy in Jesus.

But we have an even more special relationship, given our shared birthday. And today we both celebrated God's gift of life---something we have done for as long as I can remember. The Father has it that on every birthday, before doing anything else, I pick up the phone to speak with my grandmother. I am not sure how many more birthdays we have left to enjoy together, but I am eternally grateful for all the special memories that will forever remain with me.

Oh Grammy, Oh Grammy,

what can I say, words cannot express how I feel watching you go from vibrant, to now the state that you are in. You took us all over the states and Islands with you to visit our aunts and uncle who was stationed on different parts of the world every summer.

You taught me how to cook and sew my zipper and hem my skirt for school. You hand stiched my wedding vail, you always bought us educational presents for birthday and Christmas.
You was like my second mother, you are my second mother. You was my first grade teacher and grandmother, you never gave me royal treatment in class you treated me like the rest of your students.

I miss you calling me everyday if you don't hear from me before sunset just to say hello, I know you're tired and ready like you say, you have completed your mission you took care of all of us and now we are taking care of you though painful it may be to watch you cry out in pain sometimes, or to watch you just laying there steering.

I have no regrets I always told you and should you I loved you and I learnt how to be the woman I am today from you. I love you Grammy, Grammy!!!!!!

Much is owed to Mary Brennen. Enjoy!!
