I am sorry I haven't been a more perfect Mom.
A more giving and unselfish one.
But please know that I love you.
Despite my shortcomings.
I may not be all you expect me to be.
And sometimes I don't have a great memory.
But please know that I love you.
And that God is working on me.
I pray someday you'll understand,
that I too, am only human.
I've done the best I could,
with who I am and what my life has been.
Please know that I love you,
and pray God's blessings upon you.
I will never stop being your mother,
even if I don't always get it right.
Please be gracious to me,
my precious, miracle children.
And forgive my weaknesses.
I pray that when you rise up one day,
you will call me blessed. (Prov. 31:28).
