Mama,
It is hard to beleive it has been a year since you left us to be with Jesus. It still feels like an eternity since I kissed your face and told you I love you. I know the real eternity will be when our savior comes to get us who are left on earth then we will all be together in heaven. I miss you so badly, all the time I think of you and all the fun we used to have. I am thankful to God that we will be reunited one day and oh the fun we will have by our heavenly father's side. We will run about and praise the lord without pain and sorrow! I cannot wait to see your mansion I know you earned a glorious one! I love you so very much mama!

Mama,
I miss you very much, Shelby and Corey miss having a Grandma. I see kids with thier grandma and it makes me sad for my kids. You were a wonderful Grandma to them, and I am thankful for you being there for them. You always made them feel good about themselves no matter how bad they had been. You always stuck up for them. Your birthday is coming soon and I know you will celebrate in heaven and I will yearn for the time when I will be reunited with you. I love you more than I could have ever imagined.
I love you my sweet mother.

Happy Mother's day Mama,
Oh how I wish you were here to put in your order for what you want. Today was by far the hardest day since you left me. I remember how proud you would be at church to be honored as the mother with the most family present. You were the reigning mother for the past few years. I missed seeing how you beamed with pride as you went to get your award, but more than the award you were so happy to have all your children in the presence of our lord and saviour. You have been such a good Mama to me and I miss you so much it hurts. I miss calling you and coming to get you for the weekend. We had alot of fun times I will cherish those memories until we are in heaven together making new memories.
I love you so very much my
precious Mama. We will be together
in heaven.

Mama,
One month ago my whole world changed and I lost my best friend. I think of you everyday and pray for us all to be together soon. I pray for the day that the Lord will call us all home to live in peace at his side. This poem I read sums it all up.
For those who are lucky to still be blessed with your Mom, this is
beautiful.
For those who aren't, this is even more beautiful.
The young mother set her foot on the path of life. "Is this the
long way?" she asked.
And the guide said "Yes, and the way is hard, and you will be old
before you reach the end of it. But the end will be better than the
beginning."
But the young mother was happy, and she would not believe that
anything could be better than these years. So she played with her
children, she fed them and bathed them, taught them how to tie their
shoes and ride a bike, and reminded them to feed the dog and do their
homework and brush their teeth. The sun shone on them and the young
Mother cried, "Nothing will ever be lovelier than this."
Then the nights came, and the storms and the path was sometimes
dark, and the children shook with fear and cold, and the mother drew
them close and covered them with her arms and the children said,
"Mother, we are not afraid, for you are near, and no harm can come."
And the morning came, and there was a hill ahead, and the children
climbed and grew weary, and the mother was weary. But at all times she
said to the children, a little patience and we are there."
So the children climbed and as they climbed they learned to weather
the storms. And with this, she gave them strength to face the world.
Year after year she showed them compassion, understanding, hope, but
most of all......unconditional love.
And when they reached the top they said, "Mother, we would not have
done it without you."
The days went on, and the weeks and the months and the years, and
the mother grew old and she became little and bent. But her children
were tall and strong, and walked with courage. And the mother, when
she lay down at night, looked up at the stars and said, "This is a
better day than the last, for my children have learned so much and are
now passing these traits on to their children."
And when the way became rough for her, they lifted her, and gave
her their strength, just as she had given them hers. One day they came
to a hill, and beyond the hill they could see a shining road and golden
gates flung wide.
And Mother said: "I have reached the end of my journey. And now I
know the end is better than the beginning, for my children can walk
with dignity and pride, with their heads held high, and so can their
children after them." (get your tissues)
And the children said, "You will always walk with us, Mother, even
when you have gone through the gates."
And they stood and watched her as she went on alone, and the gates
closed after her.
And they said: "We cannot see her, but she is with us still. A
Mother is more than a memory. She is a living presence. Your Mother
is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down
the street, she's the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you
pick and perfume that she wore, she's the cool hand on your brow when
you're not feeling well, she's your breath in the air on a cold winters
day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors
of a rainbow, she is your birthday morning. Your Mother lives inside
your laughter And she's crystallized in every tear drop. A mother
shows every emotion........ happiness, sadness, fear, jealousy, love,
hate, anger, helplessness, excitement, joy, sorrow..... and all the
while hoping and praying you will only know the good feelings in life.
She's the place you came from, your first home, and she's the map you
follow with every step you take. She's your first love, your first
friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you.
Not time, not space.......not even death!

Mama,
Easter will never be the same we are missing the one person that held us together. Last year we were without Charlie and this year you too. I know you are rejoicing with our family in heaven, but I miss you more than my heart can take. I am sick this week and have no mom to call so I can be petted and made to feel better like no one else will ever be able to. I hope i was a good daughter to you, I always thought of you as not just my mother but my best friend, co-worker and room mate. We have done so many things together I will cherish every memory in my broken heart. I know you are finally pain free and happy with our loved ones that went ahead of you. We will be together again when the Lord returns for us.
I love you!

Mama,
I am praying for comfort for our family, we all miss you so much. I know you are rejoicing but there is an empty spot in our lives here on earth, I am trying to fill it with all the happy times we spent together,I am thankful to have had you as my Mama and for all the unselfish acts of loving kindness you have shown to us all. I know you are watching over us all and I feel your presence in my heart. Thank you for all that you have done for me in my life and helping make me into the woman of God that I am.

Mama,
You are on my mind every minute of the day and forever in my heart. I know you rejoicing at home with our Lord. What a celebration our loved ones were having when Jesus said to them Doris is calling me and I am going to get her. I miss you so much but I know you are whole and happy. I told you Jesus was coming and to watch for him, I only said goodbye to your earthly body because I will be with you again in heaven. I will keep you close by the memories I cherish in my heart. I will miss our weekends together but most of all I will miss being your baby.
