Mom, it's time to bring this to a close and you closer to home. This outlet isn't needed anymore. I know, you are right here with me. As much as I want to share you with everyone, I'm bringing you closer. Here within my heart with me, every day, every hour, every moment.
You touched so many hearts during your time here. You really were an angel and you'll never be forgotten.
You always did good Mom. I know you've already earned your wings. There's a lot that went unsaid, but we...

Good morning Mom!
Oh how I wish you were here. It's been a year. One hell of a difficult one.
I think of you every day. How I wish you were here to share in all of this.
The baby is beautiful. So healthy and a chub. Today we go down south to watch Brooke graduate college! How I wish you were here.
I can only write how much I love and miss you and wish you were here.
(I hope you are).
As always, I know you know what I'm thinking all the time. Doing our...

Hi Mom. Have you seen her? You're a GREAT-grandma, in all senses of the title! We certainly needed the help from above! What an emotional week it's been. Little Mackenzi Marie, 7 weeks early. She looks like her mommy.
I was so scared with all that was going on last week. When I sat in the car, I saw you flutter by, and know you were watching over both of them that day.
All 4lbs of her,she is a tiny miracle and doing great! H came home yesterday and the baby will stay a while,...

Happy Birthday Mom! It's a day of celebration yet how we miss you so.
The first without you. I can't even believe you are not here to celebrate. I missed sending out your package, your card, your email the phone call. But I can't dwell on that. It's YOUR day. Every day is your day for that matter.
A day doesn't go by I don't think of you. All this is just not right, it's so unfair. There was so much more for you to see and celebrate and be a part of.
Your great...

Well Mom, it's 2009. The holidays came and went, so quickly. I missed hearing your voice on Christmas eve and Christmas day and Haaaapppy New Year.
It really hasn't been happy for me, but I will make the best of it.
The little gift you hid last year we found and I gave it to Blake. I do the same and forget where I put things. So I gave it to him. It made it seem like you were here.
That new little great granddaughter is growing! Holli's tummy is pretty good sized. Oh will she...

Donna, aren't you so very proud of your daughter. She is the best and I know you treasured her all of your days with her You are watching over her and all your loved ones. I miss you.

Hi Mom. I've been away for a while. I hope you hear me when I talk to you EVERY day. Oh how I miss you. Well today is my birthday. Not to draw attention to me, but I wanted to make notice of what YOU gave to me. Life. I am so
blessed for that and for having you in my life.
Happy BIRTH-day to you, for me.
I love and miss you so very much.
Love Kim

Hi Mom, once again it's been a while.
There's not a moment that goes by that I don't think of you. I hurt more today than I did. My heart doesn't know how to heal, yet yours knew all too well how to.
We are heading up to BIG SKY. I will meet with your friends and we will reminisce. How bitter sweet it will be. It will be a last entry into the hiking journal for a while. I plan to write that for you.
I miss so very much being able to pick up the phone and call you. Except for...

Hi Mom.
It's been a while, but two weeks ago I visited you while we were back in Bloomfield. I still can't fathom what has happened. I reach for the phone to call. I look forward to your reassuring words, your cheery nature and just to talk. And then I stop, remembering that I can't. The tears just flow I miss you so much. We went on a cruise and had a great time. Our last night was a beautiful sunset and I sat on the deck and watched the sun go down. I know you were there. Your...
