Hello @eunireal1, congratulations on your 1000 followers milestone. I really enjoy reading your blogs from time to time and that of some consistent guys on #steemnaira network. Thank you for the opportunity to celebrate our mothers on your thread. Here's my entry for the #contest.

LETTER TO MY MOM

Mom, words cannot express how much I love, and how much I miss you. You are no longer on earth but, you are still living after many years. I haven't written about you for many years on social media for fear that my emotions will weigh me down but, I am writing today to celebrate you on #Blockchain.

While you were around, I and siblings never knew lack despite you didn't spoil us (apart from your first born). You trained us the way we should grow and we've not departed from that path despite you are no more. You made us know the true meaning of love, life, purpose, dreams, education, personal development, PRACTICE, and God. You set our lives on a balanced scale by making us grow up as small sets of twins (in twos).

I am grateful for your life, and I'm very proud to be your child. Your motherly affection to the less privileged, less loved and unloved cannot be left without mention. Our friends, neighbours, relatives, people that life stitched across our paths, etc. all benefitted from your love. Despite we felt you were giving too much then, you kept giving out - now, we know better.

The character, attitude, qualities, and values which rubbed off on me through your mentorship, have made my life better compared to peers from the environment I grew up in. Your sacrifices cannot be counted and your memories are awesome.

Thank you for the fun, for the care, the sacrifices, the memories, the teachings, and the confidence to succeed even as teenagers. Your memories have always motivated me when the chips are down, and have helped me scale hurdles in life, career, and family. You are more than a gift from God, you are a HERO to mankind and humanity. Thank you so much for a short life well spent for us and for others. You are a giver of love, life, smiles, kindness, and time.

I love you mom, and I miss you. Live on...
