/She.

Today my mam brought home a piece of carton , on which she stuck pictures which related to her walk in life.
It starts off with a picture of Italy where she was raised. Then there is a little picture of a girl with purple material covering it as she can't remember any of her childhood. Then comes the hot pepper as she was a saucy one :). A picture of the theatre as she loved acting. All she ever searched for was love.
Then she told me came her little star Valentina, who plays the violin and loves simplicity just like her. Her dream of working with the missions. There is a heart which symbolises Jesus and how he is the centre of her life and everything in it.
She loves to cook and eat pizza and she has a simple and relaxed home.
In the hidden page is all of her dreams.
Her dream of a pool , being a grandma to 4 children and working with missionary children.

Tomorrow I'm off to London , and somehow I feel something I haven't ever in my life.
I just feel really close to my mam. And you know what? I'm going to miss her.
I love her selflessness. She never thinks about herself first she always puts me first. With everything. For instance if we can't afford to buy two items of clothing she'd buy me something instead. It amazes me every time. And I love how she has a heart for helping people with drug problems , alcohol etc , even though sometimes she comes home stressed and sometimes even in need of a big hug.
Most people in today's world aren't really concerned with helping anyone but themselves. But my mother is a very special lady. She has a huge heart for Jesus and for people.
For those who know me I have never really spoken about her , but my feelings have grown so strong and I just want to show her how much I love her and how I will spend my entire life showing her this.
She always showed me how every time I would fall and break , to pick myself up and walk on. She showed me what love is. She moulded me to who and what I am today.
And she accepted me with my faults and my wrongdoings (even if they were bad).

One day when she was alone and she knew she was pregnant she went to a priest and she asked ''Will this child feel loved and accepted?'' And he told her ''Yes, as much as you make her feel.''
And she did. She always made me feel special.

I love her because she would always hug me when I was sad and when I cried. She held me when I felt like dying. And she never gave up on me when I was going through a rough time as a pre-teen when I was cutting myself and writing suicide notes. She prayed to Jesus everyday. And when I was 14 I came to him through my friend Josette.

I just want you to know how much you mean to me and you always will no matter what.
I will always be there when you need and I'll make you proud.
