It wasn´t until I lost you (mom) that I fully understand the phrase `I miss you´. Now it makes more sense than anything else in this world and I find myself saying it daily. Mom, I am missing you today and like any other day. But I know that you will always be with me in my heart... I am who I am because of your loving hands. I have my sweet and compassionate soul from watching you and your generosity and kindness to others. I see the world full of wonder because of your imagination. I´ve learned to never give up seeing your drive and perseverance...until I see you all again hug and kiss each for me. I love you always and forever.

K Knight I know I didn't visit as much as you would have like (lol only she could understand that phrase) but that doesn't mean I forgot about you or loved you any less. Not a day have gone or will go by that I will not cherish the talks and life lesson you have shared with me. I can honestly say you are one of my best friends and I will miss you terribly. I just want to say that I love you very much and will miss our fish Fridays.
