I will miss you my adopted mother. I cried so much as I laid in bed last night. I know in my heart that you are with God watching over us all and that eases some of the pain but not all. I sit back and think about the laughter we shared and how I could talk to you about anything & everything & I will forever cherish those memories. One thing I will never forget was when my adopted daddy was in the hospital I would check in on you and bring you dinner, and you LOVED my mashed taters. I just wish I would have stayed more in contact and that hurts more than anything. But I believe in my heart that you never held that against me even though I do. I love you so much and I will always miss you. And I promise I will help watch over the Love of your Life, my daddy. I know not by blood but by heart and soul, you two will ALWAYS & Forever will be my mom & dad. I love you.
