Dear ma, I wish we had more time together

54 years sounds like a long time, but I wish it was longer

There's a lot of things I didn't get to say

Thank you

You pushed me to be great and you taught me right from wrong

You raised me to fight my own battles

And if I needed to, pick up something and hit him wid it

You put me through college, I don't know how you did it

Everything you did, shaped me into the man I am today

You are the single most influential person in my life

And I thank you

Love, your son
