This book is dedicated to mothers. Mothers to me are the foundation of life. They are truly a gift from God. Mothers care for us. Take care of us when we are sick, wipe our tears when we cry. And correct us when we get in trouble. Mothers come if different forms. We have our birth mothers, we have people that have raised us and are like a mother to us. Mothers come in all shapes and form, in all races and different cultures. I lost my natural mother the day after Mothers' Day back in the eighties. I've been blessed that God had put people into my life that treated me as a son.
