Mother’s Day is Sunday. Remember your mother, grandmother or special person. She is the sweetest gift from God.

There is no way we can ever really thank her for all she does for us, nevertheless we can remind ourselves of the various sacrifices she made while raising us. Happy Mother’s Day to all those special people.
