Meri pyari Maa jee, You have taught me everything I know and stand for and have raised me to be the strong and independent woman I am today… I will always be your little girl, and I will always need you… Thank you for everything… For all the times that I forgot to say thank you, for all the special little things you do, for all the words that sometimes go unspoken, I need to tell you, I love you Maa, I really do… Thank you for teaching me to smile in the face of adversity, and to believe in myself no matter what… And, if at times I may have seemed ungrateful, I want to say, I truly hope you see that nothing you have done has been forgotten… I love you more than words can describe… And I can only hope to one day become half the woman you are strong, beautiful and intelligent…???
