Dear Mama, Your Memory Will Always Be In My Heart
My dear mama, you’re no longer here to share the bond we had together, a bond of love and care. Yet, I know that you are watching over me. You will be missed very much, and my tears, I can’t hide; but within my heart; I feel you are always by my side. Now that you have gone away; life will never be the same; yet it comforts me to know that you are no longer in pain. With love always your daughter, Folasade.
