Nollywood actress Rachael Okonkwo wrote a heartfelt letter to her mother on Mother’s Day, a holiday observed by Catholics worldwide.
She shared pictures of her cherished mother and mentioned how, despite receiving little in return from life, her mother gave her everything. She claims that her mother became everything to them after her father passed away and never stopped standing up for them.
“Catholic Mother’s Day feels different for me
My mother gave everything she had, even when life gave her very little in return. After we lost our father, she became everything: strength, provider, comfort, and love all in one fragile body that never stopped fighting for us.
She suffered in ways we didn’t always understand, but she never let it take away her ability to care, to show up, to be mom in the purest form.
And then she left too soon. 53 feels too young for a woman who carried so much and deserved so much more. Tomorrow, while the world celebrates mothers, I will be remembering mine with gratitude, with pain, and with love that will never fade.
I miss you deeply, Mum.
I carry you in everything I do.
Your strength lives in me.
Your sacrifices will never be forgotten.
Happy Mother’s Day in heaven

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
