Looking back on our lives we took for granted many things because she was our mom. We knew that we were loved and she always put our needs above her own. As children she kept us out of harms way. She had a very strong mothering instinct that didn’t disappear when we became adults. She offered us something that many don’t experience - unconditional love.
