May 11, 2012 (Mother's Day Eve)~

Dear Maman~

Happy Mother's Day!!  Hard to believe that it is nearly that time again; sure wish that we all could be together, but jobs, family, etc, prevent that; however, we wanted to let y'all know that we think of you every day, and that we love you more than life itself!

Hard to believe that some of us have been with you and Daddy for over 12 years while others are finding out just what great parents you happen to be.  We are grateful to be your children because you have shown us what true love is all about and that the world is full of good people (of which you and Daddy are two of them).

You have shown us that no matter what life may dish out at us, you are there to help us through it and that you support us, no matter what.  You have taught us right from wrong and to have a strong foundation in God.  You have fought many a battle for us and it is because of this that we have gotten as far in life as we have.  We couldn't have done it without you.

I wish we all could be together, to honor you, but since some of us can't, a card (and this letter) will have to suffice.  We honor you every day; in our case, every day is Mother's Day because we have such a terrific mother in you!

Maman, I hope life continues to bring you the best of what it has to offer and I pray that God blesses you over and beyond all expectation.  You deserve every blessing that God has and we wanted to wish you a very happy Mother's Day, today and always!  We love you, Maman, and I (and my brothers and sisters) feel so blessed and privileged to be your children!  You are the best Mother EVER!!!

~With much love, your kids (all 65 of 'em!).  X0X0X0X0 (Letter written by Enriquesa, but the kisses and hugs are from ALL of us!!!!)
