A Mothers Day
Let me start by saying that Anita is a super awesome mother. I am very proud of how she loves and cares for Aria and Asher.
Let me also say that the life of a mother in our circumstances is very hard.
The separation of the family is hard.
To not be working in conjunction with your husband is hard.
To have special occasions (like Mothers Day) impacted by illness/hospitalisation is hard.
To not be able to raise your kids as you would always like to due to circumstances is hard.
To be isolated from your support network of like-minded mothers, friends and family is hard.
There is just so much that is hard about being a mother of a sick child, especially so far away from home.
Yet Anita rises to this challenge and does an outstanding job.
To do what needs to be done, no matter how much she doesn’t ‘feel’ like doing it.
To be able to shower the kids with love and affection even when the emotion tanks are empty.
Happy Mothers Day, Anita. You’re the best mother a father could ask for.

Happy Mothers Day to one of the most amazing mothers I can think of. It is awsome how you can function under your circumstances but we know it is with God’s loving hands carrying all of you, Oh, What a wonderfulfamily you are.

Could my husband come and take lessons from you Hamish? No, only joking!
Being a Mother is a wonderful blessing, a privilege, a big responsibility, really scary, and the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me.
Anita, you are being a Mum in the most difficult of situations, we are all behind you. I don’t think I could do it, in your position, I do not have what you have.
May God bless you all as you walk this very bumpy, uncomfortable road at times.
With much love and prayers.

Good mothers will make great sacrifices for their children, and you are no exception. In fact, you are a shining example of the deep and abiding love God has for us, His children, even and especially in the midst of very difficult circumstances. May God cover you with His wings and hold you and your family in the palm of His hand.

A strong woman is one who knows and accepts her weaknesses and receives her strength from a never ending supply, from God Himself. Love you lots Anita!

Totally agree with Hamish’s sentiments to you Anita. You are a great team together. Prayers that Miss Arias stats stay strong and improve. It was lovely to visit with you the other week. Lots of love. Xxxx

Oh Anita how awesome to have your man shout your praises at the city gates amen Hamish amen!!! I know of another like him. Youre a supermom!!! lady Anita and we all agree we could not cope with what you have been doing all these past years. All the workload of a mother for a lifetime but for you it is all crammed up in a few years, maybe you will have such a luxurious retirement, love you Anita and all the like mothers like you who have special children like Aria. To you all I pray for you that God is always with you, He is the best Mother like a hen gathers its chicks under its wings, rest in Him dear sister and HAVE A HAPPY MOTHERS DAY EVERYDAY amen!!!
