happy mothers day to BOTH of my mamas…my adoptive mama marylee and my birthmama lois…I LOVE YOU…and i thank God every single day for the hand he had in all our lives…i am so glad that God answered your prayers 34 years ago, one prayed for a baby to nurture and the other prayed for a loving home for her baby…i am truly so blessed that baby was me…and i am so thankful for the selfless hearts of both of you all those years ago…THANK YOU!

Once there were two women who never knew each other.

One you do not remember, the other you call Mother.


Two different lives shaped to make you one.
One became your guiding star, the other became your sun.


The first one gave you life, and the second taught you to live it.
The first gave you a need for love. The second was there to give it.


One gave you a nationality. The other gave you a name.
One gave you a talent. The other gave you aim.


One gave you emotions. The other calmed your fears.
One saw your first sweet smile. The other dried your tears.


One sought for you a home that she could not provide.
The other prayed for a child and her hope was not denied.


And now you ask me, through your tears,
the age-old question unanswered through the years.


Heredity or environment, which are you a product of?
Neither, my darling. Neither. Just two different kinds of Love.
