There are no words to express how I am feeling right now, my heart has an empty void and will never be filled because I no longer have you in physical being, but I do know you are with me in spirit always. I love you ma and it will not be the same without you. I have to be strong but it will take some time. May you rest in peace until we meet again. I love you, I love you. as I cry.
