Here is my list for my mother who has ALS.
Dear Mother,
I love the way you still think of others before yourself, yet everyone thinks of you first =)
I love how you still wake up the kids for school, you shout "wake up kids". Mom this touches my heart every morning, my memories of when I was in younger and you would turn the lights on and give us a decent shake to awake.
I love the way you have stayed an avid coupon enthusiast. I love the happiness that radiates from you when we get home from your weekly trip to the store.
I love the way you bob your head and sway your body to your favorite songs.
I love how you only watch channel 21 before you go to sleep.
I love that I have been blessed to be your primary caretaker.
I love how you watch your "novela" every night from 8 to 10.
I love hearing you singing with all the capabilities you have.
I love your infinite amount of jokes, and the cutest laugh that follows after one.
I love to just see you smile, it fills me warmth and happiness.
I love that I am blessed to have a great mother like you.
I love that you know I will be here for anything and everything you need in this battle.
I love knowing you have been my guardian angel since birth.
I love knowing that you showed me how to be a guardian angel, because myself as well as all your kids are your guardian angels.
I simply love you mom.
