GUEST COMMENTARY: BY LATRAE LORENZ RAHMING
(EDITOR’S NOTE: I had to share this wonderful tribute by Latrae Lorenz Rahming, Director of Communication at the Office of Prime Minister, to his mother — who is celebrating her birthday today — as a Guest Commentary with readers of BAHAMAS CHRONCLE.)
NASSAU, Bahamas, March 3, 2023 — As I sit down to write this message to you, my heart is filled with so much love and gratitude for you. You have been my constant source of support, guidance, and love, and I couldn’t have asked for a better mom. Today, on your special day, I want to wish you a very happy birthday and express just how much you mean to me.
You are not just my mom, but my best friend, my confidant, and my rock. You have always been there for me, through thick and thin, with your unwavering love and encouragement. Whether it’s helping me with my homework, giving me advice on my love life, or just being a shoulder to cry on, you have always been there.
Your kindness, compassion, and selflessness inspire me every day, and I am so proud to call you my mom. I have learned so much from you over the years, and I am grateful for every lesson you have taught me. Your love has shaped me into the person I am today, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
So on this special day, I wish you all the happiness, love, and joy that you deserve. May your day be filled with all the things that make you happy, surrounded by the people you love most. I love you more than words could ever express, and I look forward to celebrating many more birthdays with you.
