Celebrating Mother’s Day: My Beloved Mother and I

Of motherhood, Robert Browning had this to say, “Motherhood: All love begins and ends there.”

This piece is in loving memory of my beloved mother, Mrs. Mary Boakye, (née Opoku), who passed on in 2019. She would have been 80 years old in September this year. Darling mum, continue to rest in peace! You are forever in my heart!

Forever in my heart!

To those of you whose mothers are still alive – please continue to love and cherish them for as long as they live! To those of you who are filled with sadness because your mothers have passed on – thank God for their lives and for the love you shared!

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers!
