Why I must celebrate her, a mother's love.

Before I met her I always thought no one could ever perform the role of a mother more than the person that give birth to a child, but I was wrong. Like seriously she has done a lot for me that I couldn't mention it all.

I lost my mom when I was in junior secondary school, class three to be precise, I haven't written my junior WAEC then. Though, I didn't really live her even when she was still alive because I was living with my grandma. It was just a year to her death that I could say we had stayed together. Although she used to pay us visit during festive period like Christmas and New year, amongst other important occasion that I saw her.

I met my mom, the person in the picture when I was working in a hospital. I had barely spend two months working as a cleaner when she, a nurse; now retired from service, confronted and asked me few questions majorly on my background and the reason why I had decided to be doing that kind of job as a small boy that still suppose to be in school or preparing for higher institution. Well, I had said, it was mainly to support myself till I have enough money to go further in my education.

She had agree to take me as her child since then she has been supportive till this moments. She had sponsored my college education from level one till the time I graduated. I own her a lot, I really don't think I will repay her enough for all she has done. Today is her birthday, please celebrate with me.

I wrote her this short message today in the morning.

It takes a special and endearing kind of love to sacrifice everything for someone else: a mother’s love. Thank you for sacrificing so much so that I could have a chance at happiness. You are the best. Happy birthday Mom, long life and prosperity is your portion in Jesus name.Amen.
