Dear Mom,
On this day, the anniversary of your passing, I try to remember things from our past. Thinking of these keeps us connected. I remember the time you were trying to give me the shot after I stepped on a nail at the drive-in. You know how I was, wandering all around was my nature. You trying to give me that shot and me not wanting it. You know how that turned out. Well, that´s a whole other story.
I love you Mom.
Love, Collin

Time passes and memories slowly become fewer. I still think of you and wait for when we will be together again. Fading, fading into the past, I cling to yours. Yours so sweet, so distant. Oh please dont leave me too, memorys of you. Just thinking of you Mom.

Dear Mom,
Motherly Love is an everlasting and undying love. A love that never fades with time. One that connects two people together forever. Through the eons of infinite distance. A love which will last forever and can one day be redeemed. I look forward to seeing you again on that day.
