The full text of the colouring book letter reads as follows: Dear Mum, I love you. ~ If I had a flower for each time I thought of you ... ~ ... I could walk in my garden forever. ~ Take my hand now and walk with me. ~ Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever. ~ Dear Mum, I love you ~ I believe in love at first sight because ... ~ ... I've been loving you since I opened my eyes. ~ It takes some one really brave to be a mother. ~ It takes someone really strong to raise a child. ~ It takes someone really special to love someone more than herself. ~ You are all of those things, mum. ~ No matter how many times we argue and how many times I don't understand you ... ~ ...I still think that you are the best and will always be the greatest mum in the world. ~ Your arms are always open when I need a hug. ~ Your heart understands when I need a friend. ~ Your gentle eyes are stern when I need a lesson. ~ Your strength and love have guided me and given me wings to fly. ~ Dear Mum: I love you. ~ I love you as the trees love water and sunshine. ! You help me grow, prosper, and reach great heights. ~ All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to you, my angel. ~ The more I grow, the more I realize ... ~ ... you are the best friend that I have ever had. ~ If I stop seeing you with the eyes of a child ... ~ I will see the woman who helped me give birth to myself. ~ Dear Mum, I love you. ~ Home is where your mum is. ~ Dear Mum, I love you. ~ A mother's heart is a patchwork of love. ~ The ribbons of your love are woven around my heart. ~ When I look at you, I am looking at the purest love I will ever know. ~ Mother's love grows by giving. ~ You love me even when I least deserve to be loved. ~ You forgive me all my faults ... not to mention one or two I don't even have. ~ Dear Mum, I love you. ~ Any woman can be a mother but it takes someone special to be called "Mum." ~ There is no replacement for you. ~ You are the best and will be the best forever.~ Dear Mum, I love you.
