Your mother is a source of strength and inspiration for me as an LEO man fathered the one I married whom fathered the one going joining and another possibly going in next decade with YOURS whom is PROUDLY following IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS.
Just wanted to let you know that it's not just God and angels watching over your family but some of us humans down here on Earth make sure we keep an eye on YOURS and will be always before there for them no matter what.
God bless you and thank you for your service.
