To "you know who":

"My ever-loved Mother,
I salute you with my affection
once more, and thank you
for bringing me into your world,
and for all your unwearied
care over me there.
May God reward you for it--
as assuredly He will
and does."

You were the best mom in the world!
I Love you always,
Me, your beloved baby

(Poem written by Thomas Carlyle. From a book entitled "A Mother's Lovc," edited by Susan Polis Schutz.)
