"So many times, I think of myself as a strong and independent person, filled with confidence and pride. And sometimes I forget that… It's all because of you, Mom." - Judith Hintz Tanaka This book brings together some of the best contemporary poetry and writings about a mother and her importance in our lives, in a collection destined to be treasured by mothers everywhere for many years to come. This book is more than a tribute to a mother. It is also an eloquent expression of our appreciation for all that she has done since the day we were born. It conveys our thanks for the lifetime she has invested in raising us to be the people we are today. It holds a promise that we will never forget all she has taught us, shared with us, and sacrificed for us -- instead, we will value her legacy forever and strive to hand it down to future generations. Most of all, this book is a gift of love for the one woman to who we owe everything... Mom. "I can never thank you enough for all that you have taught me, and done for me. I can never repay you. All I can do is tell you that I love you with all my heart, that I'm grateful for you, and that I cherish you and the closeness we share." - Deborah A.
