I do not boast of being an overly good son but I can boast that you have been a super, dapper, mum.

All I am, outside God I owe to you and your meticulous efforts.

"My mother said to me, 'If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.' Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso."
-Pablo Picasso.

May this natal anniversary, like amoxil capsules, encapsulate your life with God's choicest blessings.
