The first day I felt the fresh air after 9 months of being locked in my mom's belly, Marlou was there. I didn't know much but was trying to figure out my way in the world. Marlou took me as her own to the extent that Jochem thought l was robbing him of his place as the last. She showed me the best of motherly love every little baby would ever want. I remember her taking me out for shopping and even the great trips we had. I nearly got confused in identifying my biological mother because Marlou showed me exceptional kindness, care and attention. Words alone are not worth to express my esteemed gratitude for the good works Marlou did for me. I understand people come and they go but Marlou will remain a part of my life. I couldn't have been where I am today if it wasn't for her support and encouragement. I have just completed my first degree courtesy of you, Marlou. I made it Marlou. I finished the race strong. It pains me most that you are leaving without me having the chance to celebrate my achievement born out of the sacrifice and opportunity you gave me. It will surely feel empty without you around but a mark of your love will give me warmth in this time. May your soul rest in perfect peace.
