You never said it would be easy, but you were stronger than any lie, you are bigger than any challenge. Fulfilling our dreams made you invincible. Nobody notices your pain, nobody sees your tears. Your heart beats in silence and somebody finally somebody heard it. You believed in me and taught me not to give up, to fight for what I want, to fall. And to always get back up with more strength. Who else can give their life for a promise? Thanks, mom.
