If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that flower of love – Stevie Wonder. That quote is what I found when I was
         looking for ideas to dedicate my first tattoo to my mother. That’s why my first tattoo was of roses.  She was the first
         woman I’ve ever loved unconditionally, and she was the first woman to love me unconditionally and showed me what a                                                                Sweetness,  I  miss  you  so
         woman’s love looks like.  I loved making her laugh and seeing her deep dimples. She also taught me at a very young age
         to love my skin and hair in a world where I am judged by my skin and hair.  She would always tell us “You are fearfully and                                                       much.  You are now with the
         wonderfully made” Psalm 139:14. She spoke life, love and the Word of God into our lives. She was a wife/lover to her hus-
         band, mother/nurturer to her kids and she was a teacher to all.                                                                                                                   only man that you loved more
