The message your mother sent you brought a lump to my throat!!!! It is a treasure. Keep it and read it whenever you need it. For my part, thank God, I am also thankful for the parents I had. Dad is already gone to another plane, but Mom is still by my side, filling my life with love and energy. I always say that I would have liked to be my mother's mother, to give her a lot of love, because I know she didn't have it; maybe that's why it's hard for her to be weak: she had a terrible childhood. It will be an honor to talk about her and I already know what my most memorable moment with her is. This topic you chose is very beautiful and heartfelt: very touching posts are sure to come out. I embrace you
