Awesome Mother.
You knew I was trouble when I came to your life. You knew I was not the son you really asked for from God. You knew I was different. But you didn't care.
Thank you Mom for never giving up on me when everyone else did. I shall always look back at those times when we ate breakfast together. I was so busy finding the right words to tell you how I really feel, but tears came running down from your eyes because you knew I was breaking inside.
Now I think of how foolish I was to have sought for a best friend when I had you all along. For this, I say, Cheers!
Just as Pooh said to Piglet: If you live to be 100, I hope I live 100 minus one day so I would never have to live without you.

“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.” ― Washington Irving
