H is for the Heaven that all mothers represent on earth
E is for an Exceptional lady, who else can that be

I was taught this song in my elementary school and I have never forgotten it ever since even though I no longer have a clue that who wrote or sang this song but the words will never cease to warm my heart.

So from all of us here at Bear Creek to our mysterious knitter, thank you.
