Mom,
Happy Birthday, I miss you terrible. We took Dad out yesterday to look for a new recliner. He did find one. We went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. We had a good day. We are all wishing you were here. Enjoy your day with Dawn. I love you, know that I'm hugging and kissing you from down here until I see you again.
Love you
Heather

Mom, I can say that the years that have past, do not make me miss you any less than when you left us. I think of you daily, and miss your encouragement. I wish I could show you what I have done with my quilting. People say your mom would be so proud of you. I just sometimes wish I could see the joy on your face with what I have done. When I finish something and am so excited and can't wait to show you. I hold it up to you to see, and know that you are looking down and smiling. I miss you Mom, today and everyday. I love you.

I think of all that has changed...
so much of it has changed
But so much has remained the same...
like how the sun never fails to set, like how the moon never fails to rise,
like how the flowers never fail to bloom, like how the sky can still look so pretty.
But my love for you will never change, even when my heart is so sad and I'm missing you.
Happy Mother's Day, Mom
