Happy Mother's Day to My Dear Mum


She did not just sit and watch our infant heads, 

she stood up and worked to make sure we were fed,
not just in our stomachs alone but also in our spirits, souls and our heads.
I love you dear Mum,
We your children and all the uncountable number of people you have been a blessing to say "We love you"
Happy Mother's Day!

I began to feel like I had bitten more than I could chew and that I was going to disgrace myself and let God down. It was like I was hearing a voice say to me “what have you gotten yourself into”? With all these negative feelings weighing down on me a terrible fear just filled my heart and I could not do anything any longer.Then one day I decided to end it all.
