      “You were my mother and my friend; Which was unusual. Somehow our characters still blend: Your wisdom and my will.

      I turned and you were there for me; I spoke, you understood. I felt cared for but also free; You loved and I was good.

      I’m fortunate that I was born To someone just like you; I love you still. Though you are gone. You live in what I do” Nicolas Gordon
