When we are children we are happy and gay, and our mother is young and she laughs as we play. As we grow older we look back with love, knowing that mothers are a GIFT FROM ABOVE. So dry tears of sorrow, for mothers don't die, they just move in with God and keep house in the sky. And there in God's kingdom, they watch from above, to welcome their children with their UNDYING LOVE!
