I miss you so much momma. I wish I could kiss your sweet face, or hold your loving hands in mine. I can still feel your hands in mine. I hope I never forget. I need your kind words. To hear you say you love me, and for you to hear my words of love to you. You always told me how proud you were of me and how much you loved us, but right now I feel so lost without you. A scared little girl of 57. That is what I am without you. I still think you are so beautiful. You still took such good care of all of us. You covered us with you loving care. You would drop everything to be there for us if we needed anything. I was so Blessed to have you for my mom. You taught me so well. My heart is broken, but I know I will be with you again, and what a lovely celebration that will be. You know my love for you Momma, and I know yours for me. XOXOXO
Eternal love- Your Pumpkin- Denise
