Today as we remember Mum (this day 4 y ago), I honor the lives of Mum & Dad! The greatest influencers of my life! Who I am today is them. ❤️
I live by Mum’s wise sayings. She promoted faith, compassion & equality! I aspire to do what Dad did! He promoted faith, compassion & justice.
This memorable picture👇was always hanged somewhere in our house.
May their Souls Rest in Eternal Peace!🙏
