Dear Mama,

This letter is not just about me praising you or giving thanks to what you have created. This is from the purest heart.

Mama, I am so thankful that God decided to bless me with you because I could not have asked for better role model or confidant. Our lives have not been easy and I know that we on;y made it through by God and your faith. Your faith which kept me strong when the love of your life died, your faith which kept me strong when senior year of high school was the worst for me, your faith which kept a daddy;s girl from going over the edge.

Mama, I wish things could be different. I wish things could be different because you deserve everything AND MORE.When people say God's soldiers, I think of you because you truly embody what it means to walk in His faith. I feel as though if things were different then everything would be different. Even in my older years, I wish I had your guidance to guide me through love, men, and relationships. I wish I had your guidance to guide me through school, achievements, and disappointments. I wish I had your guidance when guidance can't even guide me anymore.

Sometimes I sit up and cry because I can never understand why we were chosen to experience this hardship and heartache. I cry because no one truly understands what goes on and I cry because most will never truly understand. I cry because I can't help but think how life would be so totally different for the folks around me.

But as time goes on, I realize I can't dwell on the what ifs and the what nots. It almost seems selfish that I am sad when there are people who don't even have their mother in their life. And for that, I apologize to all of those people. I can only pray that God continues to heal my heart and continue to bless me with you everyday.

Mama, I love you. I don't know which way i can say or how much more I can do but girl, I LOVE YOU. I am shedding tears as I write this because only you and God truly really know the good heart in me. Only you and God were there when everybody else turned their back on me.

Thank you for being my Mama.

Love, Peace, and always yours,

Pooga.
